A Simple, Easy, and Dairy-Free Jalapeño Ranch Recipe

One of the most challenging aspects of eating a healthy and balanced diet can be finding condiments that are not full of sugar, unhealthy oils, preservatives, or other junky ingredients.

When I first started paying attention to the ingredients in the food I was buying, I realized that some of the salad dressings I grew up loving were full of ingredients that were not supportive of my overall health goals. Creamier dressings, like ranch, are often particularly notorious.

That being said, there is really nothing like a good ranch dressing to bring your salad to life or make your veggies even more delicious. Thankfully, this healthy jalapeño ranch dressing recipe has got you covered! It’s made from only real food ingredients for a delicious dressing and dip that you will love!

All the Ingredients You Need to Make This Creamy Dressing

Mayonnaise: To keep this recipe Whole30 compatible, you’ll need to use to a Whole30 compatible mayonnaise. Look for one made with high quality oil and no added sugar.

Avocado: This is the secret to giving the jalapeño ranch a thicker, creamier consistency.

Full Fat Coconut Milk: You can usually find full fat coconut milk in the Asian aisle of your local grocery store. It will come in a can and not in the refrigerated section.

Jalapeño Pepper: This of course gives the ranch that jalapeño flavor and a little spice.

Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice gives this ranch a delicious citrus flavor.

Fresh Herbs: This dressing uses a combination of fresh dill, parsley, and chives to achieve the best flavor.

Garlic: This is a must-have ingredient. If possible, be sure to use fresh garlic.
