Homemade "Ranch" Dressing

We are big condiments fan at our house. I think we have 10 different mustards in my fridge as we speak (not kidding!). They are so fast and easy to add flavor to a lot of meals. One condiment or dressing that my kids and husband love is ranch dressing, but I have such a hard time buying or even using the bottled stuff full of 1000 ingredients. So per usual, I remade a classic into a Natalie-approved but family taste-approved dish. Behold, a diary, sugar free, preservative free ranch that is delicious.

I was inspired by a buttermilk ranch from Our Best Bites, with a few tweaks and some substitutions. It is truly delicious. 

Start with 1 cup of mayonnaise. You can use any variety you like or homemade. My favorite is "Just Mayo" because I recognize all of the ingredients and I really like it. Whisk in 2/3 cup of boxed coconut milk until smooth (almond milk works too). 

Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar.  Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1/8 teaspoon dill, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried chives, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard.

Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving (I have used it without letting it sit and the flavor is much better if you wait).
