-Duke’s Mayo (the full-fat kind with the yellow lid) is a good storebought mayo option without sugar. I'm sure you could also make your own as well, and that would be even more optimal because storebought mayos often contain oils that aren't the best. If you make your own mayo with an on-plan oil like olive oil or use a storebought mayo made with just avocado oil and other simple on-plan ingredients (
Primal Kitchen has one like this), the dairy-free version of this dressing is actually a Deep S!
-You could probably substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
-I’m not sure how long this will keep in the fridge, but it’s never gone bad on me. Mine is usually gone within 2 weeks. If it smells funny or starts growing mold I would throw it out. There are no preservatives in this recipe, unlike storebought dressings, so it probably won’t keep indefinitely.
-Add some sriracha for a spicy ranch option!
-Nutrition calculated per 2 tablespoon serving made with reduced-fat sour cream and Duke’s Real Mayonnaise.
ALLERGY INFO:-Gluten Free (use non-contaminated ingredients)
-Nut Free
-Dairy Free Option: Since mayo is traditionally dairy free, I made a simple dairy-free ranch dressing by omitting the sour cream. The dressing was a little thicker than I needed it to be so I added a dash of water. Worked great! If the flavors are too strong for you without the sour cream you can dilute the dressing a little with more mayo and water. Make sure to use a mayo that is dairy free. According to my research, most are, but not all. (In case you're wondering, I added the sour cream in the recipe above for just a little extra creaminess and to stretch the calories a bit more. The dairy option has a slight edge in my opinion, but I was really happy with the DF version as well.)
