Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup lactose-free sour cream or full fat coconut milk
2 green onions green part only
1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh squeezed is best

1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon asafetida powder optional. Read more in my Asafetida Ingredient Spotlight

Instructions

Finely chop the green onions.
Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl.
Mix with a spoon or whisk until thoroughly combined.

Notes

Nutritional information is based on using lactose-free full-fat sour cream.

Note about optional ingredients: The addition of garlic-infused olive oil and asafetida powder give this ranch more of a traditional garlic-forward flavor.

Expert tips

Adjust consistency – make it thinner by adding your favorite lactose-free milk or plain plant based milk. Add liquid one tablespoon at a time so the consistency doesn’t get too thin.
Paleo ranch dip – for a dairy-free paleo dip, consider replacing some of the coconut milk with coconut cream
Serve chilled – the dressing becomes more flavorful with time and is best served chilled. Consider making it a day ahead of time to give the flavors time to blend.
If using fresh herbs – use twice as much as dried herbs except for the chives

Variations

Greek yogurt – replace the sour cream with your favorite lactose-free Greek yogurt for an extra tang and lower fat content
Make it smoky – add a pinch of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness
Use vinegar – if you don’t have lemon juice handy, you can replace it with an equal amount of apple cider vinegar, white wine or champagne vinegars
Low sodium ranch dressing – leave out the salt and use a low sodium mayonnaise
