Easy Keto Ranch Dressing

Pin itFollow us 148.4k

Ranch dressing is extremely easy to make and so much better than the store-bought version.

It tastes better and you have complete control over the ingredients. No unnecessary additives, no preservatives and no inflammatory fats! I didn't use any buttermilk to make this dressing even more keto-friendly but you could use full-fat buttermilk as that won't have a big impact on the carb count.

This simple low-carb ranch dressing ready in just a few minutes and you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week. I use my ranch dressing in salads or as a dip for vegetables and crispy chicken drumsticks.

Make this keto ranch dressing and you will never need to buy the bottled version again!
