Homemade ranch dressing is a nourishing and health-promoting condiment for just about any dish. Our version has the added benefit of probiotic cultures in it to support the gut.

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade or commercially prepared with avocado oil

½-3/4 cup kefir or plain yogurt*

2 cloves garlic, crushed into a paste

1 tablespoon parsley, dried

2 teaspoons dill, dried

2 teaspoons chives, dried

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon unrefined salt

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Method

The amount of kefir or yogurt you use will depend on how thick you would like your final product to be.  If you are using this for a dip, use a smaller amount of kefir or yogurt.  To use as a salad dressing, use 3/4 of kefir or yogurt.

Whisk all ingredients in a bowl or blend until smooth in the blender.  Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

*Coconut milk yogurt is delicious in the recipe for a dairy-free option.
