A quick and easy Ranch Dip, Dressing, or Sauce that’s Paleo and Whole30 friendly! Using homemade mayo made with an immersion blender, you can whip up this addicting ranch in just 5 minutes to go with veggies, chicken, beef, or anything you want!
I’m sort of a ranch fan. The second thing I did after discovering the perfect homemade mayo was to figure out how to make it into ranch dip. This Paleo creamy ranch dip is not only a dip, but can be used as a sauce or dressing too. Can we just say it’s ranch and it’s awesome? Well yup, I just did.
I’ve made different versions of this for different purposes, but usually to top a burger or to dip baked fries or veggies in. There have always been subtle variations in the seasoning though, and I wanted to finally have an “official” ranch recipe on here, that will work with anything you want to eat it with. Or right off the spoon, dare I say.
Aside from spoon licking, you know what ranch reminds me of? It reminds me of my first year of college, when I discovered that people were putting ranch dressing on pizza. Coming from NY I was seriously horrified by this at first, but it probably took only two weekends for me to start craving it with my late night pizza. I suppose when you’re not eating NY pizza all other pizza rules go, and so for those 4 years I ate a lot of ranch dressing on pizza. But only after 2am. Any earlier and it would still just feel so, so wrong 🙂
Well now, I have to say I enjoy my ranch a lot more for topping salads, burgers, pork chops, and as a dip for veggies, both crispy and roasted and raw. You can even go wild and mix it with chicken for a ranch chicken salad. And then add bacon, because if you’re going wild you’d better just go ALL THE WAY. This easy ranch dip makes anything possible!
If you haven’t tried my homemade mayo yet or haven’t made it with an immersion blender, I highly recommend splurging on one! An immersion blender makes mixing up mayo quicker and easier than toasting a slice of bread. Especially for me, since I don’t even own a toaster anymore! HA HA.
The immersion blender I’ve had for a over a year now is the Cuisinart Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender

Oh yes, and the darned yuca fries! Honestly, I wanted to post the recipe for them this week, but, with my ridiculous oven issues I couldn’t get any sort of accurate baking temperature or time. Because, of course, my oven turned off 5 minutes into baking them! So while I still ate them, I have no idea how long they would’ve taken had my oven stayed on. I WILL be making them happen for next week, even if I have to do battle with my oven every day. They went really well with this dip so now it’s a mandatory follow up!
What do you put on pizza where you’re from? Any other college ranch-pizza experiences?
What’s your favorite creamy dressing?
Fun weekend plans for anyone?
