Get ready to fall in love with your new go-to dressing! Whether you can do eggs or not, this homemade ranch is an absolute dream. It delivers that classic, tangy, herby flavor you crave and is unbelievably versatile. We’re talking just 5 minutes of prep time for a full 2 cups of creamy goodness with zero cooking required.

Trust me, it’s a game-changer for salads, veggie dips, wings, and everything in between.

Pro Tips

• For the best flavor, let the dressing chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the herbs and garlic to meld together.
• Adjust the consistency to your liking. For a thinner dressing perfect for salads, add a bit more coconut milk. For a thicker dip, reduce the coconut milk slightly.
• If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried, but use about one-third the amount (e.g., 1 tablespoon fresh parsley = 1 teaspoon dried).
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the mix.
