    Ranch dressing might just be the most popular salad dressing in America. If it isn't, it's an extremely close second. 

    Everyone seems to have a favorite type of Ranch. Homemade, store-bought, or restaurant style, the variations are endless.

    Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing Ingredients

    Is Ranch vegan? In its traditional form, no. Classic Ranch is usually made from a combination of buttermilk, garlic, spices, and mayonnaise or sour cream. 

    For this homemade vegan dressing recipe, we've made some healthier swaps that are also dairy-free and egg-free. Dried herbs make for easy assembly. Here are the major ingredients that you'll need:

    • Dairy-free Greek yogurt
    • Full-fat coconut milk
    • Fresh lemon juice
    • Apple cider vinegar
    • Dried dill, chives, and parsley
    • Onion powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper

    How to Make Vegan Ranch Dressing 

    With a bowl, a liquid measuring cup, a whisk, and some measuring spoons and you are halfway to easy Ranch dressing. Here are the simple steps to making your own:

    1. Combine Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl and let sit 2-3 minutes.
    2. Stir coconut milk and apple cider vinegar in a liquid measuring cup and let sit 2-3 minutes.
    3. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the Greek yogurt mixture. 
    4. Whisk in the coconut milk until desired consistency is reached.
    5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake before use.
