When I completed my first whole30 I was ecstatic - for two reasons. One, I had amazing results and felt better than I could ever remember feeling before. And two, I was going to get to reintroduce some of my favorites that I had missed so much! One of those items was ranch dressing. Now, being from the South, ranch dressing is a staple - and we put it on everything. Salads, vegetables, grilled chicken - you name it - you can put ranch on it. However, I did not want to go back to my old ways of eating since I felt so good, so I set off to find the perfect whole30 compliant ranch dressing.
During my whole30 this dressing was an absolute staple in my house - but now that I am living more of a Ketogenic Lifestyle I am beyond excited that my beloved Whole30 Ranch is low carb too! While I may not be dipping carrots in it much anymore, I absolutely pour it on my salads, Keto Pizza and Keto Chicken Tacos!! And of course this is a must have for my Keto Pizza Chips which are the perfect low carb snack! You can use my Whole30 Mayo Recipe or Duke's Mayo is a great premade alternative that you can find at your local grocer. Both will taste absolutely delicious!
So without further ado, here is my favorite ranch dressing recipe ever.
Whole30 Ranch Dressing Recipe: Total Game Changer
This whole30 Ranch Dressing is a total game changer. Better than any bottled ranch you have ever had, this will go on literally everything!
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup whole30 mayo
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a nice large measuring cup pour 1 cup of coconut milk. Then spoon in whole30 mayo until liquid level reaches two cups.
- Add in spices and whisk well. Cover and let chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
- *Tip: experiment with coconut milks – some have a stronger coconut flavor than others. The milder the coconut flavor, the tastier your ranch will be!

Sounds delish! I am really trying to find a ranch recipe that I love, as a fellow ranch lover. Can you recommend a coconut milk that doesn't have strong coconut flavor? I really don't want to taste coconut in my ranch!
Moscato Mom says
Hey Kelly! I use the Iberia brand - I get it at Publix - it's in a blue can in the international foods section 🙂
Vivian says
THANK YOU so much for posting this! It has made the biggest difference for me on my whole30.
Moscato Mom says
Hey Vivian! Gosh yes I felt the SAME way!! Keeping rocking your whole30! I am cheering for you!!
Rochelle Kelley says
Can I use almond milk instead?
Moscato Mom says
Check the ingredients to make sure there are not hidden sugars, and I believe you can. IF you are trying to be whole30 that is. Even though I am not following the plan, this is still my go to ranch -its THAT good! 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Lauren says
My teenage daughters and I started the Whole30 plan today. We have chronic Lyme disease and are hoping the plan will help us. I made mayo and clarified butter this morning. Next MUST have is ranch dressing! Can't wait to try it! Thank you for posting!
Moscato Mom says
YAY!! The whole experience was life changing for me - as cliche as that sounds. Hang in there - the first week is tough - but if you can push through you will feel AMAZING. And yes - even when I am not in a w30 round I still only use this Ranch Dressing. Nothing comes close to how good it tastes now! 😉
Rose says
Hello Lynsey, I am on my first W30 after doing Warrior. Like you, I am a RANCH Lover. I have no problem with coocnut milk since i grew up cooking with it. My question though is once you made a batch, how long will it last refrigerated? (not that it will last in MY household, but just in case friends requested some, what do i tell them?)
Thanks.
Moscato Mom says
Hey Rose!! CONGRATS on Warrior AND jumping on Whole30! That is awesome! As for the ranch - from what I understand you want to consume by the date of the EGGS that you used in your mayo. So if you are using my Whole30 Mayo recipe for instance, you want to keep in mind the date of the eggs you used. Otherwise I would go by the expiration date of your mayo. I believe the only thing that really "goes bad" possibly is the eggs. I *have* had my ranch separate and look a little watery, but I have never had it go bad - like you we always ate it too fast! Ha! 🙂
Juliet says
What whole30 mayo recipe do you use?
Moscato Mom says
Hey Juliet! I use this one - https://moscatomom.com/how-to-make-whole30-mayo-recipe-video/
Julie says
This is delicious. Thank you for posting. I'm on day 6!!!! and this ranch with a bunch of veggies for my snack was perfect.
Kathleen says
How long does this last in the fridge?
Moscato Mom says
I always go by the dates of the eggs I used for the mayo. Sometimes it will separate a bit - you can just shake the jar and it should be fine. I've never had it longer than I week because I use it on EVERYTHING lol
Brooke says
I'm new to Whole30 and I'm still trying to figure out what I can and can't eat! So you can have coconut milk?
Moscato Mom says
Check the ingredients but yes MOST of them are ok. Many have guar gum in them which the Hartwigs actually say is ok - it is a thickening agent. Just make sure they do not have added sugar 🙂 GOOD LUCK!
laura says
How long will this ranch last in the fridge (assuming it doesn't get eaten before going bad)
Thanks!
Moscato Mom says
Hi! I always go by the dates of the egg that I used in the mayo for an "expiration" date 🙂
Ashley says
Can you use light coconut milk or does it need to be 100%? Thanks!
Shari says
This ranch is exactly what I was looking for. The other Whole 30 compliant recipes I have tried all had red wine vinegar as an ingredient, and I was never thrilled with the taste. Thanks for this!
Amy says
How long will this last in the fridge?
Moscato Mom says
Rule of thumb from what I have heard is to go by the expiration date on the eggs that you used for the mayo 🙂 Mine never got even CLOSE to that old before I had eaten it all so I am not sure.
Beittany says
Hi! I am so excited to try this! Is it dill weed, dill seed, or fresh dill?
Moscato Mom says
I used dill weed 🙂
Sarah Saffold says
Hi! This is dried dill, correct?
Katie says
Which coconut milk do you recommend that's not coconutty Lol? That is also whole 30 compliant?
Moscato Mom says
I use the Iberia brand... I do not think it is coconutty at all. It is in a light blue can in the international foods section at my Publix. It has Guar Gum in it as a thickening agent but Melissa has said it is compliant. The stuff in the red can (Thai something maybe?) is VERY coconutty!
Cheryl Wilson says
Glad to see a Whole 30 version of my favorite dressing. I eat ranch daily. Fresh is always best.
Kym says
Is there any option of ranch dressing without coconut or nut milks? I'm allergic to them 🙁
Moscato Mom says
Hmmm, that is also whole30 compliant? Not that I can think of. Let me do some asking around 🙂
Christina A. says
Oh--with coconut milk?! So much better--I need to try this!
Hannah C says
I would love to try making this! Thanks for the recipe!
