Ingredients:

1 egg
54g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 tsp mustard
2.50g
1/2 cup coconut milk
110g
1/2 tsp onion powder
1.20g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 tsp dill
0.18g
1 cup olive oil
220g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 cups lettuce
70g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing Base:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and mustard. Blend the ingredients until they are well mixed and smooth.
2. Add the Flavorings:
- Add the coconut milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and dill to the blender. Blend the mixture until all the ingredients are incorporated and you have a smooth consistency.
3. Emulsify the Olive Oil:
- While the blender is running on a low setting, slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture in a thin stream. This will help to emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy texture. Continue blending until the dressing has thickened.
4. Season the Dressing:
- Finally, season the dressing to taste with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Blend briefly to incorporate the seasoning.
5. Prepare the Greens:
- Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
6. Serve:
- Drizzle the homemade paleo ranch dressing over the lettuce just before serving. Toss the salad gently to ensure the greens are well coated with the dressing.
Note: Store any extra dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them blend smoothly and prevent the dressing from separating.

- Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor in your dressing.

- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less coconut milk or more olive oil.

- For a different flavor profile, you can experiment with adding other fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil.

- Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

- Before using the dressing, give it a good stir or shake to recombine any ingredients that may have separated.

Enjoy the vibrant flavors and satisfying texture of your freshly prepared greens with a rich and creamy homemade paleo ranch dressing. Relish the knowledge that you are nourishing your body with wholesome, natural ingredients free from preservatives and additives. This dressing can easily become a staple in your kitchen, enhancing any salad with its delightful taste.
