Making your own Paleo & Whole30 Ranch Dressing is so easy and quick, and so much tastier and healthier than the store-bought version. Pour it on salads or meats, or use as a dip or a marinade!
You know, if I knew that making your own Whole30 ranch dressing at home was this quick and easy, I would’ve started doing it way earlier! I think this may be my new favorite go-to dressing for everything.
Paleo & Whole30 Ranch Dressing Recipe
All you need to make this paleo and Whole30 ranch dressing, besides the ingredients, is an immersion blender. Not only is it the best tool for making an egg-based creamy sauce or mayonnaise, I love how easy it is to clean up than when you use a regular blender.
In this recipe, a combination of an egg, avocado oil, coconut milk, and yummy spices are combined together to make America’s favorite dressing, and my picky husband said it might be better than the store-bought version he’s been eating!
Why I Don’t Buy Store Bought Ranch
Ranch is my husband’s favorite dressing so he’ll buy it for himself sometimes, but I personally never eat or touch the store bought version. The ones from the most popular brands are made with inflammatory vegetable oils which contain trans fat and are known to cause so many health issues.
There’s an incredible amount of processing to make soybean, corn, and canola oils, and most of them are already oxidized and rancid by the time they hit the shelves. This causes them to be highly inflammatory to the body, and it’s best to avoid them if you can.
Instead, in my paleo & Whole30 ranch dressing, I use avocado oil, which is much healthier and more stable, all while having a neutral flavor!
Ways to Enjoy This Paleo & Whole30 Ranch Dressing
There are so many ways to use Whole30 ranch dressing, and it’s a versatile condiment that goes with almost all savory dishes. Here are some ideas:
- Drizzled over salads (duh)
- As a dip for veggies and crackers
- As a marinade
- Drizzled over meat dishes
- As a dip for wings and coconut chicken
- With fries
The possibilities are endless! Did I miss anything? Comment below: how would you enjoy this paleo & Whole30 ranch dressing?

I am allergic to avocado. Do you think it would be OK to use coconut oil?
Coconut oil is a different structure than avocado oil so it wouldn’t work. You can also use light tasting olive oil instead so the olive oil flavor doesn’t overpower in the dressing.
My little one LOVES ranch dressing. I just made this, and it’s a total
A good ranch dressing is so key when dairy is kicked to the curb…this looks great!
I LOVE ranch dressing and can’t wait to make this one Jean!
This is going to help so many people who can’t have dairy! Look at how easy this is in the jar just blended up! Those flavors are so classic – my kids will love this for there lunchbox veggies to dip!
I love the ingredients in this, and that photo of them in the jar. SO yummy and appealing! Especially the fresh herbs, mustard and onion powder — yum!
I adore ranch, and I especially adore these ingredients. It seems like you really nailed the flavour – I especially love the addition of egg yolk. It looks SO perfectly creamy!
Love all the flavor in the recipe. So gorgeous too!
I love ranch too, so it’s always to have a nice clean recipe with whole food ingredients!
I don’t usually have dressing on my salad / prefer then plain and simple. But anything home made like this tips the balance. Thank you!
I want to make this dressing today, but I am curious if it has a sweet or coconut flavor, given the coconut milk. I ask because try as I might, I just do not like coconut milk in a lot of things…IE curries, butter chicken etc…there is something about the sweetness that I don’t care for. So, before I make this, I was just curious if anyone has any insight. Sidenote: I just bought your Korean Paleo cookbook today on Amazon and can’t want for it to arrive! The picture of your wonton soup in Insta looks amazing!
Hi Jessica, I personally don’t detect sweetness to it, but if you are especially sensitive, I would try using another thick non-dairy milk like cashew milk. And thanks so much for buying my cookbook! I hope you enjoy it.
Hello,
My son is allergic to eggs , can i omit eggs? Maybe use a vegan mayo instead?
Yes, that should work!
