Keto Ranch Dressing
Whisk acidified heavy cream with mayonnaise, sour cream, and savory dried herbs for a rich, tangy dressing. Thin it for crisp salads or keep it thick for dipping vegetables and wings.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (have another 1/4 cup on hand for thinning if desired.)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise preferably homemade
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- broth optional - for thinning
Instructions
- Whisk 1/4 cup heavy cream with the apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl, then leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. The cream should take on a lightly thickened appearance and a soft tangy aroma.
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, dried dill, and black pepper, then whisk until smooth. The dressing should look evenly speckled with herbs, with no visible pockets of sour cream or dry seasoning.
- Adjust the consistency gradually with more heavy cream or bone broth if needed. For a salad dressing, it should flow slowly off a spoon; for dipping, it should cling to the back of the spoon.
- Spoon the dressing into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. A brief stir before serving restores a smooth texture if the dressing firms up in the cold.
Notes
Texture tip: Whisk in cold heavy cream or bone broth gradually if the dressing becomes too thick after chilling. Avoid plain water, which weakens both flavor and body.
Storage: Store the dressing in an airtight glass jar or sealed container in the coldest part of the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before serving to restore a smooth texture.
Freezing: Avoid freezing this dressing, as the dairy and mayonnaise emulsion can separate and turn watery or grainy once thawed.
