Most store-bought ranch dressing recipes contain non-keto ingredients, including sugar, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. An average store-bought ranch dressing contains 3.5 grams of net carbs per serving of 2 tablespoons. These are unnecessary carbs from processed ingredients, including sugar, that won’t go in favor of your keto lifestyle.

Ingredients and Substitutions

This paragraph gives you all my tips about picking the right ingredients. For the full recipe with measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post!Go to Full Recipe
  • Mayonnaise – not all mayonnaise brands are keto-friendly. Choose mayonnaise without canola oils or without any vegetable oils. These are non-keto-friendly fats. Instead, use mayonnaise made with avocado oil or olive oil. These are the best mayonnaise choice on your keto journey. Primal Kitchen has a great range of keto-friendly mayonnaise.
  • Plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream dairy-free plain yogurt like coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option. Learn how to pick keto-friendly yogurt.
  • Lemon Juice – fresh or bottled. Fresh is best!
  • Dried Chives
  • Dried Dill
  • Onion Powder – or very finely diced onion
  • Garlic Powder – or crushed garlic
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk for a dairy-free option or heavy cream for a thicker, creamier dressing. Did you know that regular milk isn’t keto-friendly?
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Storage Instructions

This keto ranch dressing stores for up to 1 week in the fridge or slightly more, depending on your sour cream or Greek yogurt’s best-before date. Always store the salad dressings in the fridge in a sealed glass mason jar and shake it before serving.

Serving Suggestions

This keto salad dressing is delicious with:

  • Keto chicken salads – try my keto avocado chicken bacon salad with this classic ranch dressing. You will love the combination of creamy sauce and grilled chicken. You can also use it for regular salads like my Kale Quinoa Salad.
  • Keto chicken wings or keto nuggets.
  • Crunchy vegetable – use this as a veggies dip for any raw keto vegetables in your dressing like celery sticks, cucumber sticks, or radish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Freeze My Salad Dressing?

Yes, you can freeze this salad dressing. The best way to freeze your salad dressing is to pop it into an ice cube tray. This way, you can defrost only one serving at a time. The salad dressing thaws fast at room temperature in a serving bowl or overnight in the fridge.

Can I Fix A Too Thick Dressing?

Simply thin out your ranch dressing by adding more almond milk or heavy cream. We all have different tastes when it comes to salad dressings; some people love it thick and creamy, and others love their dressing liquid and thin. Adjust the amount of liquid to fit your palate.

Which Green Goes Well With Ranch Dressing?

Basically, any kind of greens is delicious served with a ranch dressing, including romaine lettuce, rocket, baby spinach leaves, raw broccoli, and more!

    7 Thoughts On Keto Ranch Salad Dressing (0.5g Net Carbs)

  1. 5 stars
    I just made this. It is wonderful. It will be even better after it’s all melded together in the fridge for a bit. I don’t think I’ll be buying ranch dressing anymore. I did have to make one substitute.My daughter had used all of my lemons making lemonade,so I had to use apple cider vinegar. It still tastes fantastic. Next time I will make sure I have lemons on hand. As good as it is with the ACV, I know the bright,fresh flavor from lemon will make it even better.
