Indulge in a refreshing bowl of greens topped with a mouthwatering homemade paleo ranch dressing. This healthy and delicious dressing is quick to make and loaded with flavor, perfect for a nutritious meal or snack. Made from simple, wholesome ingredients like coconut milk, olive oil, and fresh herbs, this recipe is both tasty and aligning with paleo diet principles.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finally, season the dressing to taste with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Blend briefly to incorporate the seasoning.
- Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
- 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.
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.
