    This Low Carb Ranch Dressing Recipe has 0g net carbs per serving and is addictively delicious as a salad dressing or dip! And it comes together in just 5 minutes! You’ll never want the bottled stuff from the store again.

    Quick and Easy Low-Carb Ranch Dressing 1

    I almost never buy store-bought salad dressings for two reasons: 1) homemade tastes so much better and is so easy to whip up, and 2) I get sick of the same flavor way before the bottle of dressing is gone.

    Homemade to the rescue! This Low Carb Ranch Dressing Recipe is on regular rotation at my house.

    I always love a good vinaigrette, but there are times when I crave a creamy Ranch-style dressing. The thing I really love about Ranch is its versatility. You can serve it along with a huge platter of fresh sliced veggies for an easy crudités platter for munching on. Ranch also goes great with baked chicken tenders or chicken wings for dipping.

    Additionally, Ranch makes a tasty dressing for pasta or potato salad. Lastly, it’s a great way to make a clean-out-the-fridge-with-a-salad-for-dinner feel special!

    What is the Best Ranch Dressing?

    This Low Carb Ranch Dressing Recipe in particular is pretty fantastic. And it’s way better than any bottled stuff you can get at the store!

    It’s rich and creamy so a little goes a long way, and it doesn't get any lower in carbs. This dressing has 0g net carbs per serving! Add a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper to kick the flavor up.

    And if you don’t mind big, bold flavors, you can go with fresh grated onion and garlic instead of the powdered version. A jar of this Low Carb Ranch Dressing is a staple in my fridge!

    Healthy Salad Dressing: What is the Healthiest Salad Dressing?

    If you’re looking for a healthy salad dressing, look for one that uses a healthy fat (such as avocado oil, olive oil, organic grass-fed cream, etc.) and has minimal carbs and no added sugar. Another thing to look out for with bottled salad dressing is added preservatives. Because it can be so hard to find a healthy pre-made salad dressing, I like to make my own!

    One of the healthiest ways to dress a salad is with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh organic lemon or a little splash of organic apple cider vinegar.

    Does Salad Need Fat for Your Body to Absorb Nutrients?

    The thing to remember about salad dressing is that its function isn’t only to taste good. Many of the vitamins in vegetables are fat-soluble, meaning your body needs fat to be able to properly absorb them. Read more about this on WebMD and Shape.

      Sometimes you just NEED a creamy dressing and this looks perfect. Bottled salad dressing is so inferior to homemade, especially ranch. Love this, Faith!

      This dressing sounds really good. My husband and I usually just put a good balsamic vinegar on our salads, but once in a while we like something different, like the Mole dressing I figured out how to make that we saw in a culinary theater. My husband loves ranch dressing, so it would be fun to surprise him with it.

      […] One of our favorite appetizers is deep fried zucchini…or at least it was before going keto! We knew we wanted to come up with a low-carb version, and we focused on developing the perfect “breadcrumb” blend (which we think we did!). Then we roast the breaded zuke sticks in a hot oven with a little spritz of healthy avocado oil. We serve our “fries” up with low-carb marinara or homemade ranch dressing! […]
