Delicious Dairy-Free Ranch Dip…Ready in 5 Minutes!
It is Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Can Easily Be Made AIP!
Ranch and Veggies!
Perfect thing to take to a picnic or gathering, have as a snack, or serve as the side of a quick summertime dinner!
I always have this on hand in the fridge, ready to grab and go! It’s part of my regular weekday lunch, and my guys enjoy it as a refreshing snack when they get home.
Ahhhhhhh….Ranch!! The go-to dipping sauce that everyone loves! So multifunctional, it’s a great staple to have on hand…especially if you have kiddos…or kiddos at heart! It seems like a necessity for any kid to eat veggies!
However, if you need to eat dairy-free, you may have struggled to find a ranch that satisfies you and your family!
That was me…I was searching high and low, repeatedly coming up short. Either the ingredients contained seed oils or other concerning things, the taste was off, or the texture wasn’t quite right. Often, they were too runny to use as a dip, which did not go over well with my young boys at the time.
Truly AIP
Ranch Seasoning Mix
This Ranch Mix is so tasty, easy to make, and everyone loves it, including my whole family!
It only requires 3 ingredients:
Your base…I use Wegman’s Avocado Mayo
Lemon Juice
Ranch Seasoning Mix
Ranch Seasoning Mix Ingredients: Garlic powder, sea salt, onion powder, dill weed, chive flakes, and parsley
That is it…no fillers, no junk, just real ingredients!!
You can order it from Amazon ($11.99 for 4.4 oz) or from the company’s website at https://trulyaip.com/ ($10.99 for 4.4 oz).
FYI…I am not an affiliate; I love this product and enjoy spreading the word about it!
These are the amounts I use:
1/2 cup Wegman’s Avocado Mayo
2 1/2 tsp Ranch Seasoning
1 3/4 tsp Lemon Juice
Combine them all in a bowl and stir with a spatula until well mixed.
That’s it! Done in literally 5 minutes!
If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add some water.
My family likes their ranch with a lot of flavor, so you may want to play around with the amounts to find what works best for your family.
If you are taking it to a gathering, I would double this recipe.
This is great for dipping, as a dressing on your salad, or as a wonderful addition to a burger, chicken, or a sandwich!
The ranch is good for 5-7 days stored in a glass container in the refrigerator.
Suggestions for Brands of Avocado Mayo
My Preferred Brands of Avocado Mayo:
Wegman’s Mayo, made with Avocado Oil ($7.99 at Wegman’s for 12 oz.)
Chosen Foods Classic Mayo, made with 100% Pure Avocado Oil ($8.99 at Wegman’s for 12 oz.)
Both of these brands are free of any seed oils, have clean ingredients, taste great, and have a nice consistency.
I no longer recommend the Primal Kitchen Brand. I used to, but they changed their recipe. It still tastes good, but the consistency changes after it is refrigerated. It separates, gets clumpy, and does not mix well.
How To Make The Ranch AIP Elimination Phase Compliant
The avocado mayos contain eggs, which are avoided during the initial phase of AIP.
Since the seasoning mix is AIP-compliant, all you need to do is adjust your base ingredient, like coconut yogurt or mashed avocado, to stay compliant.
I have not personally tried either of these, but with the seasoning mix being so delicious, I am confident that any of these ways would taste great!
