Can You Have Ranch Dressing On The Keto Diet?

Yes, you can have ranch dressing on the keto diet, but be careful not to chow down on just any ranch you find at the grocery store or in your refrigerator.

Many brands of storebought ranch dressings will have a ton of hidden sugars that make them less than keto-friendly.

So, to save your time reading labels, and to ease your mind knowing you can pronounce all of the ingredients in it, make my homemade keto ranch dressing recipe instead!

How Much Ranch Can You Have On Keto?

The amount of ranch you can have on a low carb diet completely depends on the other foods you are enjoying daily.

As with all other low carb foods, you should consume them in moderation and within the limits of your daily macros.

Ingredients You'll Need

You don't need a pantry full of food to make something delicious.

Without many ingredients, you can have a tasty salad dressing or dipping sauce.

Sour Cream- Is used for the bulk of the "base" of the keto salad dressing.
Heavy Cream- helps to thin the ranch dressing. If you want it to be a thicker, more dippable consistency, you can skip the heavy cream.
Mayonnaise- Increases the amount of fat in the dish to help combat hunger.
Lemon Juice- The freshness of the lemon juice counteracts the heaviness of the sour cream and heavy cream.
Dill- For that zing of ranch dressing we all know and love.
Vinegar- Adds a little more tanginess and acidity to the recipe.
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder

Tips And Tricks

Double it up. If you're a ranch dressing enthusiast like me, you'll want to double this recipe for quick low carb snacking that's always at the tip of your fingertips.
Make it zesty. You know me, I like things spicy. If you want to add a little spice to your ranch, add some Frank's Red Hot or Cholula hot sauce when you're mixing up your ingredients for a kick of heat.
Store it individually. If you take meals or snacks to work with you, pour your ranch dressing into individual portion storage containers when you make it so you don't have an excuse to reach for a less than keto-friendly snack while you're away from home.

How To Serve Keto Ranch Dressing

Depending on where you're from, your use of ranch dressing can vary significantly. While some people only use it to top a salad or add a little additional zing to appetizers like Buffalo Chicken Dip, there are others that use it to dip veggies, drizzle over pizza, and dunk hot wings and Buffalo Chicken Tenders.

How Long Does It Last?

If you're a dipping fanatic like I am, you won't need to worry much about how long it lasts unless you're doubling up the recipe.

For the best flavor and consistency, you'll want to store this Keto Ranch Dressing in the refrigerator in an airtight container and enjoy it Ranch within 3-4 days of preparing it.
