Low Carb RANCH DRESSING Battle - The BEST Keto Ranch Dressing Recipe!

[@gailneal]

This channel is worth it just to watch his eyes roll into the back of his head when he tastes something good 😆

[@thebadger9302]

So true!!!!

[@61leggo]

I love watching Wes! Plus I feel he's honest. And....that's what we're after right?!🙂👍 Thank you Wes! I've now got to make these!

Yassss

[@libim3492]

Truly. He needs no words. We know when a recipe is "Wes Approved".

[@lindalockhart1266]

I had an old wheelbarrow. I drilled holes in it, filled it with dirt and planted perennial herbs. It is right outside my kitchen door. I’ll dry my own herbs and keep year round.

[@Carol32547]

Prayers to those in Louisiana. I live on the tip of the panhandle of florida..we ate getting some surge but nothing compared to them. Stay safe!

[@PinkOwl31]

Thanks!

Ya know how in life there are just certain things that trigger a big smile spreading across your lips, like children's laughter or a kitten purring? Add your fun and joyful "Hey, Y'all ..." intro of every video to MY list. Every time I hear that I know we are in for a fun and honest and informative video. Really appreciate all you do. Thank you so very much for the info and for the smiles and laughs.

[@Scott-co4dq]

Thanks Wes. You are illustrating one of the most surprising things I've noticed in our low carb lifestyle - the foods we make often taste better than the carby stuff we had in the past. I enjoy food more now than I ever have before!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Very true! And as someone who overeats past the point of feeling full just because things taste good, it’s hard! LOL

[@Truckngirl]

With airtight storage, dried herbs typically last 1-3 years. Ground, or powdered, spices typically have a shelf life of 2-3 years. If stored properly, whole spices can last up to 4 years. Expiration dates are a use by guideline for maximum flavor and potency. Bottom line, you'd have to use a greater amount to achieve the same flavors.

[@MommaValorie]

You’re a national treasure, Wes.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Schtaaap! (blush) 😜

[@alexiskiri9693]

In making my keto Ranch, I found the secret ingredient. 2 Tbs of dill pickle brine (the liquid from your jar of pickles) It really makes the Ranch yummy.

[@IMOO1896]

Thank you for honoring and linking the original posters of these recipes. Everyone wins.

[@cyndimanka]

My daughter-in-law had a birthday party for my son when he turned 40 a few years ago and she put out vegetables and dip. The dip was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted in my life. I asked her how she made it and she said oh it’s so easy. It’s just a package of hidden valley ranch and a container of sour cream. I use this for my husband‘s blue cheese salad dressing I use it for dip. You can use it as a spread on wraps.

[@brentprosser7293]

As a southerner, we eat Ranch on everything. Everything? Yes. Everything. One of my favorite bar foods are Ranch Wings (its a fried chicken wing with dry ranch mix in the flour with a lot of salt). Then, we dip said Ranch Wings into Ranch dressing. I'm completely convinced that some folks dip their Ranch dressing into Ranch dressing!

[@lorialaways5827]

Ever since I watched this video, I couldn’t “not” make this recipe. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I used the KC recipe, only because of the thickness. I substituted some of the fresh herbs with dry, only because it’s what I had on hand. It is amazing!!!

[@jeanniebauske2489]

You don't know how I enjoy seeing and hearing you. Wish you could be here every day

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

That makes me so happy to hear, Jeannie. You made my day. 💜

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Oh, yeah! I’d be down for daily Wes videos!! ❤️

[@aliciaflinchum6511]

Thank you for this awesome video, Wes! I do think that the first recipe's ratio of 1:1 mayo and sour cream really helped it to be creamier. I've found that that is my preferred ratio as well. Keto ranch dressing is so easy! I started out with Wholesome Yum's recipe, which is truly divine! But now I don't really even use a recipe. I do single servings when I make my salad. Just a tablespoon of both sour cream and mayo with my choice of spices. I always add a little garlic and onion powder, but everything else is up in the air! I love adding everything but the bagel seasoning. It's one of my favorites. Add a little dill, chives and parley and you have a lovely ranch! My advice is, start with a good recipe. Make it several times until you know it by heart. Then, start playing around . Variety is the spice of life! :)

[@dimo4756]

I like the idea of making the dressing as I need it. Thanks for sharing!

[@mahair5382]

That’s an amazing piece of advice! Doing it smaller as need - SMART :)

Greetings from Memphis! Love your videos, but missing the "Flo - Kiss My Grits" picture in your new place! Thanks for doing what you do my friend 🙂 PS - got your book & *lovin' it y'all*!

[@raewise6345]

Hey, I miss Flo, too!!😍😁

[@StephanieJoRountree]

You could always use the base of the fresh herb recipe and the dry ingredients from the 2nd recipe to create a new recipe.

[@naturegeek6201]

I love you, too. Steve from Serious Keto just did a dressing recipe using heavy whipping cream with vinegar and various spices. Seemed pretty easy and cheap.

[@shelleyriley9130]

I adore Ranch Dressing and make the dried herb version every week. The only difference is that I thin mine down with either dill pickle juice or olive juice instead of the Almond milk or heavy cream version.

[@mathfaster]

Good suggestion on freezing leftovers. Maybe freeze in a silicone ice cube tray(s) with a lid for portion control.

[@Visshaldar]

if you don't have one with a lid just toss the frozen cubes in a freezer bag.

[@CallieCatCuddles]

@@Visshaldar I used to do that with the juice I'd squeeze from my lemon harvest: squeeze, freeze, and bag. Fresh juice all year long.

[@richardfellows5041]

@@CallieCatCuddles Lemon Harvest???! What is that! With my tree we get 10 or more lemons a day whether you want them or not.

[@tobarstep]

The second recipe is the one I've been using for a couple years now. As I'm no longer as carb-phobic as I used to be, I've switched out the sour cream for greek yogurt. Tastes pretty close and has like less than 1/2 the calories. I also add a couple tbsp of pickle juice. Makes it more dill-y (I love dill) and gives a bit of that buttermilk taste from the vinegar mixing with the yogurt.

[@shaylaster1607]

Nice tips thx

[@ShowMeMo]

I always enjoy your videos! You are just a lovely ray of sunshine!

[@michaelsingletary4526]

Have a great weekend everyone from Tampa Florida. Get Wes's Book it's great. Making the EggRoll bowl this week.

[@rebeccascavello5607]

Made it the other day but with ground chicken ( was what I had on hand ) It was delicious!

[@denitam917]

I frequently make the WholesomeYum Ranch recipe. I add a touch of allulose and thin it out to mimic the kind you’d get at a restaurant and it is amazing! I’ve tried it with fresh, dried and mixed herbs depending on what I have on hand and it always tastes good. Also, I make my own mayo for this from a super easy Serious Eats recipe using avocado oil.

[@karijaneify]

It’s hard to mess up homemade ranch, and easy to customize without a fail. We don’t like a lot of mayo so simply replace with sour cream. Adding couple tablespoons of buttermilk powder adds dimension too.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Definitely!!

[@lisayount6826]

You can also sub plain greek yogurt for some of the mayo or sour cream.

[@briand5379]

Wes I have a confession, I have mustard powder in my cabinet that expired back in April 2015. No disrespect to Keto Connect, but saying your ranch is zero carbs is like saying your heavy cream is zero carbs.

[@vickiesattelberg6906]

When you grow your own herbs dehydrate before the end of season.

[@lizkirby6482]

Thanks Wes. I accuse my husband of drinking his ranch dressing. Now at least I can make it healthier!

[@claudetteshock5830]

Thank you, I've been wishing for Keto ranch dressing recently and you just so happen to put KZbin

[@leanna1017]

2 T as a serving for ranch? Oh h3ll no, lol. Another great recipe that I use weekly is from the Southern Keto cookbook. Her recipe makes a bulk dry herb and spice mix and you add that to sour cream, mayo, and lemon juice to make about a pint of dressing. It's fantastic.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I like that one, too!

[@pattijesinoski1958]

Do you have to buy the book for the recipe? Or is it on line somewhere?

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@pattijesinoski1958 I don’t know if she has it online or not.

[@michellemooney4225]

Thank u so much for this video! I have been wanting a good salad dressing recipe for sooooo long! I could almost taste and smell these as your were testing them. YUM!!!!!!

[@Djynni]

When I saw this video I was really excited because I assumed it was going to feature the dressing Steve just released a video for on Serious Keto (2 of my favorite creators' works in 1 video ❤). But I guess it's just coincidence lol.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

I saw his yesterday and was like - wow! Great minds think alike. LOL. Just a coincidence. I filmed this several days prior and scheduled the release today.

[@Djynni]

@@HighfalutinLowCarb Yes, you both make such great videos. I hope you're very happy in your new location.

[@SeriousKeto]

Believe me when I say, every time I see Wes is doing a video and it's a food item I've done a recipe for, I have a minor panic attack. I think if he did another of my recipes this soon after the 90 second tortilla, it would look like we're colluding. 😄

[@Djynni]

@@SeriousKeto Well, I hope there is more collusion!

[@fnpfeelgood6627]

MMMMMMM! I have one of those big containers of the HV ranch powder I mix with Greek yogurt and some water I cannot wait to try this recipe! I would try it with 0% fage for a little lower calorie.

[@maureengermain5658]

It’s Christmas in August. Thanks Wes, I think 3 videos in a week? My only question Can I make Cajun ranch dressing? Maybe by adding Cajun spice to the dressing ? I’ll try it. I’m hooked on it…. Thank You so much….

[@lindap.p.1337]

Bleu cheese dressing can be made from this too!

[@arienschatzi]

I love watching you!! I LOVED this!! I tried one of recipes yesterday and I am so grateful. I discovered that the msg in Ranch dip packets from the store are giving me health problems (swelling in my ankles and eyes) and I was so grateful that you did this video so I could try it. I never even thought of making homemade ranch, so THANK YOU!!!!

[@Gwarlock]

Would you be up to doing a mayonnaise battle? Maybe with olive and avocado oils?

[@kelleakat2]

[@cheryloconnor8628]

I love this channel. Started watching because my daughter does keto. I just had to share this with her. You are funny and absolutely adorable. She has tried some of the recipes you recommended and was very happy with them. Thank you for the content.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I’ve always been the odd man out. I HATED ranch dressing. I’d make it all the time and serve it to family and friends, but couldn’t understand people’s’ obsession with it. Then, just a couple of months ago I made some and tasted it before chilling and suddenly I LOVED it! So strange! I’m glad to see this comparison - I’ve never tried the KC recipe but think I’m going to have to now!

[@betha8761]

🌞 You’re wonderful! We all appreciate you and what you share with us!🌞

[@Java-Junky]

Ooooh I needed this!! Thanks Wes!!

[@pennivalenti6602]

I just love you! Lol! Your accent is so comforting! I will definitely make both of these, especially the one with the fresh herbs. Thank you for the recipes!

[@honeywest536]

I like the fresh herbs but you're right Wes, for many of it's not practical.. I like the idea of freezing it-never even thought of that. I grow herbs in the summer and would make it fresh during that time but not that I know I can freeze it.......hmmmm. Thanx for another great comparison and I like seeing my name on your love list. Making my was through your cook book-doing Buffalo chicken spaghetti squash for the freezer along with stuffed peppers and some cabbage rolls (with cauli rice of course) Lots of cooking during harvest time.

[@sofializzy4519]

I LOVE watching your facial reactions... lol... dead give away. Love ya Wes. Thank you!

[@GrammyBeth]

Both of these look so good, my go to for ranch seasoning or dressing is Kristie Sullivan’s from Cooking Keto with Kristie

[@MsDropofrain]

just the first few seconds of this video "ya'll we're going to".... put a huge smile on my face. Love you, Wes, and your informative videos. Please bring more of these!

[@reneeredding4861]

Usually I make the Ranch dressing with fresh herbs when I have them from something else, otherwise I use dried herbs. I just came across your channel recently. I love it. I've been binge watching.

[@K4t77]

You have no idea how fast I ran over here when I saw this on Instagram. I used to love hidden valley but I want something I can make at home. But a little more like restaurant ranch. Im so excited to watch!!!!!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Yay! (NO RUNNING at the pool, Kat!!) 😜

[@lindaa2437]

Thank you! Looking forward to trying either/both recipes once I have the herbs.

[@zensbleexperience3470]

Stay safe! I love you your channel and content. You have charisma that pops!

[@reneelucero2240]

I made the keto connect recipe with dried herbs and it came our awesome . It does taste better then store bought because you don’t have the processed taste that come along with all the preservatives.

[@kb80550]

Can't wait to make a hybrid of these two recipes with the creamier base and mostly dried herbs. Will use any fresh herbs on hand. Thank you for all your hard work producing these informative and entertaining recipe comparisons.

[@donnam5891]

Aussie here. Haven't tried Ranch except maybe at a Maccas take away in a little plastic tub before Low carb. Heading into Spring here so more salads coming up and sometimes mayo is just too heavy. Going to try this and Serious Ketos too. Thanks mate😊

[@caseybrannon4975]

I don't even like ranch, but I watch!!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thank you! Love hearing that! ❤️❤️

[@CarbageMan]

I'm pretty sure the dry herbs would catch up overnight, or come really close. It might be worth it to use the dry herbs in the other recipe to improve the texture. I've made dip before with cream cheese substituting for some of the sour cream. There's also Greek yogurt. A decent ranch might even get me to eat celery again.

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

Heavy whipping cream mixed with ranch dressing powder then thinned out with a little vinegar and water is AWESOME & KETO!

[@Hotwheelsx2]

hello Wes I have been watching your show from the beginning and absolutely love it! One thing I haven't seen yet is any kind of review on refried beans ,commonly used as a staple in Mexican food and since you just did the low carb tortillas recently it would be a natural to follow up with keto version refried beans please consider such a review and thank you very much!

[@xk3ll3yx]

I’ve made both of these and I agree, they’re both equally delish!

[@madelineharmon1245]

A couple well 3 foods I would love to see you do. Key lime pie and instant pot keto cheese cake and the crust for each. Love your videos

[@Justme77400]

I’ve been making my own ranch dressing for a long time now using a very similar recipe to both of these. I use dried herbs because I can’t grow parsley and dill for some reason (black thumb LOL) but I do have fresh chives ( they can survive my black thumb🤣) and I also use fresh garlic. I use a grater to blend it in well and use Irish Celtic sea salt. I get rave reviews!!!

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I just made the second one with the dried herbs. It needs to sit for a couple more hours but it’s pretty good. I guess I don’t have to buy dressing anymore. Lol. It’s very good and now I just need to make my own mayonnaise because mayonnaise with real oil is very expensive. Lol. It was pretty easy with the dry herbs. Maybe I’ll grow some herbs in the spring and do fresh

[@soniafeliz9697]

My first time watching you, and let's face you'all We want to hug you. You are adorbs and I will be making this salad dressing and will be watching you more often. Thank you! Happy Holidays

[@larkmacgregor3143]

Hi Wes - fresh herbs are easy to grow, especially if you live in the south. If you have room in your backyard, clear a little patch, or set some pots on your deck, and grow your favorites. That way, you will get the delicious freshness without the grocery store expense. I'll send you seeds if you like, as my way of saying "thanks!" for the wonderful content you produce. I have many kinds, but the most best to grow yourself are basil, thyme, parsley, dill, rosemary, oregano, peppermint, spearmint, summer savory, cilantro, and sage. Just ask, and I'll send whichever seeds you want. 🙂

[@debiolivetree24]

I've been using Wholesome Yum's Ranch for a few years now, and everyone who tastes it LOVES IT! I will definitely try the KC version, because I love Matt and Megha, and they have great recipes too. Thanks for the hard work you do on this channel!

[@Midimoho]

Thanks so much! I need to make this.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

This is awesome. I think what I might do is take small baggies and mix all the dry ingredients of the second one, it’s kind of a pain to get fresh herbs sometime, but if I mix all the dry ingredients in a little baggie then I just have to add the mayonnaise sour cream and lemon juice or vinegar. Awesome

[@zannataylor9951]

Thank you for the foresight to mention the cost of fresh herbs. That is helpful. BTW, I bought your book. Love ❤ it

[@tanyastuart7735]

Wholesum yum ranch is my absolute favorite. I love it with her buffalo chicken meatballs.

Hey Wes. Thanks for the video. Great as usual. I looked forever to find one my family would enjoy. We really love Keto with Sammy has on her channel. If you ever do another ranch battle you might add hers to your list. Hope you are safe.

I can't wait to make this dressing! Thanks so much!

[@TeachLongbeard]

Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@EastOrlandoFlorida]

Here is my recipe I made in the 90s when I moved to England (which did not have Ranch then). Also, make this the night before using so the flavors come together: 1 t Parsley ½ t Garlic powder ¼ t Onion powder 1/8 t Dill 1/8 t Thyme 1/8 t Paprika 1/8 t Red Pepper flakes 1 t Salt ¾ t Pepper ½ c Mayo ½ c Sour Cream 2 T Heavy Cream w/ 1 t Lemon Juice OR White Vinegar edited to add: this was dip to serve with Buffalo Wings (yep, had to homemake that sauce as well, lol). If you want a thinner dressing style, just add a larger amount of the heavy cream/lemon.

[@InLawsAttic]

Love the book and thanks for this ranch dressing today!

[@leeannkipp2465]

Hello Wes- Being from a dairy family, I would mix equal parts sour cream and mayo. Yes, do use fresh herbs when available. I purchased an organic dry herb Ranch mix from Amazon that is good. Thanks for the demo! ~ Diane

[@bluedove7876]

I'm going to try it with a thick full fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Very timely video for me as I have been mulling over the best ranch seasoning blend. ^_^
