This Paleo Whole30 Ranch Dressing is thick, creamy, fresh, and so delicious! Easy, comes together quick, and made with all real ingredients. Dairy free and loaded with flavor.
This Ranch Dressing is so good and you will not miss the store bought stuff at all! It is surprisingly easy and takes only a couple minutes to make. I use my homemade mayo in it, but you can also use a paleo store bought version, just check for added sugar. I know there is a clean version made by Primal Kitchen with no added sugar or any other unwanted ingredients. Homemade is easy and cheaper, but they both will work.
I love using this for my Paleo Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, Buffalo Chicken Casserole (paleo), and Paleo Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Skins.
The rest is just some seasonings that you probably already have on hand. A little garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and parsley. So simple. When you first mix it, the best thing to use is a whisk because you will want to get all the little lumps out of the coconut cream. It will only take a minute, but is important to make smooth. It will set up in the fridge and turn thick. Not too thick where you can't dip veggies, but not watery at all.
This is the perfect dressing to use for veggies, salads, meat, basically anything. It's delicious, easy, and healthy! I know you'll love it! Of course, this is gluten free and dairy free as well. Try it and see for yourself how simple homemade is- you'll be hooked!

How long does this keep for in the fridge?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Cara- It should last up to a month.
Cara says
Thank you! I made buffalo chicken stuffed peppers this week and this ranch was perfect drizzled over them!
Jaime says
Is paleo Mayo the same as homemade mayo?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jamie- yes- my homemade mayo is paleo or you can buy paleo mayo. Whichever you prefer. Hope you try it!
Laura says
This is the BOMB!! There is no way my husband and I will be able to eat all of this by the expiration date. Can it be frozen? Just not sure how it would taste when unfrozen. Thanks!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Laura! It should stay good in the fridge for a few weeks. I don't know how it would freeze and thaw. I'm sorry! Maybe look for more ways to use it? 🙂
Molly says
Do you know the nutritional value for this?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Molly- No, I don't calculate nutrition info, but you can use a site like My Fitness Pal if you want to figure it out. Hope you try it!
Leigh says
I was super excited to try this... something went wrong and I cannot figure out what happened!! It has a really bitter taste when it hits the back of the tongue. I made your homemade mayo and used that as well. None of my ingredients for either are inspired or incorrect. Do you have any ideas about what I did that could possibly make this bitter? Or how to offset the bitterness so I don't have to get rid of it? Thanks so much!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Leigh- thanks for trying my recipes, I'm sorry the flavor is bad. I'm not sure what it would be. Maybe a bad egg? That is so strange that it's overly bitter. I would say maybe try again with store bought mayo and double check to make sure the coconut cream isn't expired. That's the only thing I can think of.
Coralie says
This is so good. I used coconut milk (full fat) so I did not use the full can, but added to get to the consistency that we liked. It was very easy and tastes just like the buttermilk ranch dressings in the refrigerator section of the produce section.
Great way to kick off our whole 30 knowing we have a great salad dressing!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying my recipe, Coralie! I'm so glad you like it 🙂
Annie Talbot says
If we use the Primal Kitchen Mayo - do we need to use as much coconut cream? I only have one can of coconut milk + the primal kitchen mayo to work with. Any suggestions would be awesome!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Annie- it would be the same measurements. 1 cup mayo and 1 can coconut milk. It sounds like you have what you need. You can use more mayo and less coconut milk if you need to. I hope you love it!
Rachel Smith says
My husband and I always detect the coconut cream taste (which seems to be inevery recipe) so instead I omit the coconut cream and add dill (to taste since I'm terrible at measurements wen cooking). Otherwise, love!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying my recipe, Rachel! I'm glad you made it so you like it- sounds great!
Maddy says
Hi! Excited to make this. How long does it need to be in the fridge before it can be used?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Maddy- you can technically use it right away, but to thicken up I'd say at least an hour. Enjoy!
Courtney says
I made this tonight, followed the recipe exactly, and mine tastes like coconut BIG time. Thoughts? The whole30 book recipe uses only 1/4c. Of the coconut cream. Have you made their version?
Jessica DeMay says
I'm sorry about that Courtney. You can try adding more seasonings to offset the coconut flavor. I have never thought it has a coconut flavor but you may be more sensitive to the taste. No, I haven't tried their version because I'm happy with mine.
