PANTRY BASIC: RANCH DRESSING

There are a few things I didn’t know I really loved until I gave them up, among them muffins, sandwiches, and ranch dressing. My mom, brother, and I came up with this Paleo ranch when we were making Buffalo chicken one night and lamenting the fact that blue cheese isn’t Paleo (important statement: ranch is great, but blue cheese was meant for Buffalo wings). Now I keep a batch of this dressing in my refrigerator to serve on salads or dip veggies into as a snack. MAKES 1½ CUPS

PREP TIME: 5 minutes

COOK TIME: None

1 cup Homemade Mayo (here)

½ cup coconut milk

½ tablespoon dried chives

1 teaspoon dried mustard

½ teaspoon celery seed

½ teaspoon dried dill

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Pinch salt

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

  1. In a mason jar or other container with a tightly fitting lid, shake or mix well to combine the Homemade Mayo, coconut milk, chives, mustard, celery seed, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Store refrigerated until the expiration date of the eggs you used to make the mayo—make a note on the container if it helps you remember.
