This low carb ranch dressing recipe has become a staple in our home. We use it as a dip for fresh veggies, salad dressing and even over grilled fish. It is the perfect keto ranch dressing with the added healthy fat boost from the avocado. It takes the traditional ranch dressing recipe to a whole new level.
The second I made this low carb avocado ranch dressing recipe, I vowed never to buy store bought ranch again. I have a feeling you just might make the same pledge. Making your own low carb salad dressing recipes and condiments will not only save you money, but they are also better for you. You can skip all the unnecessary additives by making your own.
They are so many different ways to change is up. Check out my Bacon Ranch Dressing variation or my Southwestern Ranch Dip. I even have a Buffalo Ranch Dressing recipe in my Primal Low Carb Kitchen Cookbook.

This sounds pretty amazing! How well does it keep in the fridge or should it be used up right away?
Kyndra Holley says
I think you could keep it in the fridge for up to a week... If it lasts that long 🙂
Angela says
Do think using dried spices would be ok?
Peggy says
I used dried spices and it turned out great.
Adrienne says
Natural yoghourt works very well too.
Terri says
I just discovered your site and I love it! I made this dressing and it was awesome!! Even my picky husband and son loved it. I will definitely be making this again.
Dee MacDonald says
This looks really yummy. I don't have an avocado now but I do have some quacamole.. Do you think I could use that in place of the avocado?? I think I am going to try it. Thanks for all your hard work.

This is a wonderful dressing! I used more apple cider vinegar (2 T) and then blended with my magic bullet to blend and added jalepano's to spice it up a bit! Really yummy.
Anita says
That sounds fantastic, Liz! I put cilantro and crushed red pepper in mine and thought that was great. Next time I'll try the jalapeno. Great tip!
Ashley S. says
Mine is more like a dip. Thick. To make it spread further for salads, could I just add water to it? I feel like that’s a stupid question, but I wanted to be sure.
Carol says
I put heavy whipping cream in mine to thin it out a bit. I wouldn’t use water...
Cam says
Delicious! I used dried parsley and chives (1 tsp) and 1/3 tsp dried dill.
I added the recipe to my Cronometer and the cal were 55, protein .5g, net carbs 2.2 and fat was 4.9. Still low enough for me to use. Tomorrow mix it up with chicken for a lettuce wrap.
