Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing

This zesty Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing is the perfect companion for all of your favorite salads and bowls. Everything comes together in just a few minutes and stays fresh for up to a week. This recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, Keto, Paleo, Whole30, and low-carb friendly.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenLast year, around this time, I had participated in a 30 day cleanse. The types of food I could eat on this cleanse were lots of veggies, berries, and lean meats like chicken and fish. I cut out dairy, gluten, refined sugars, and even coffee! I have to say, I felt really good. Less sluggish, more energy, my skin looked more youthful, and I had less aches and pains. When the 30 days was up I didn’t even go right back to a lot of those things, because I didn’t miss them all that much.

Even though I stopped the cleanse, there were quite a few recipes I created and still enjoy that came from that time frame. Like this dairy-free ranch dressing. Two of my favorite things during that time were these protein packed quinoa veggie bowls, and a buffalo chicken bowl. I’ll be sharing both of those soon, but I used this ranch dressing in both of those meals.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenThis ranch dressing is dairy free because I use almond milk. You can use your favorite kid (preferably carrageenan free), but try to get the kind that isn’t vanilla or sweet flavored, it may add a weird taste to your ranch. This recipe does use two large eggs, so if you have special dietary needs and can’t use eggs, this may not be the recipe for you.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenAn immersion blender is almost mandatory for this recipe. It comes together so easy, just add oils, eggs, seasonings and vinegar and mix. If you don’t have an immersion blender, a traditional blender would work just fine as well.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenI really love this ranch because of the herbs and spices I’ve added. I love a bit of zest, and this definitely has that. There are two types of oil used here, because while I do love avocado oil, it is a bit pricey and with this recipe you could also just use olive oil. This is what I use so my oils last a bit longer.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenWhen using the immersion blender, add everything but the milk and herbs and mix with the immersion blender all the way down. Once the bottom begins to blend, pull the immersion blender slowly up to mix the rest on top. After it’s all combined, then add the herbs and do a quick pulse before adding the milk.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd the milk in slowly, using just the 1/4 cup at first. Slowly mix everything together, and if it’s still a bit too thick slowly add in a bit more milk, up to 1/4 cup more.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenThe ranch will be a bit of a pinkish tone until you add the milk. This is normal due to all of the seasonings. You want to add the herbs towards the end so they don’t get too blended up and turn your ranch green. Not a bad thing because it won’t affect flavor, but a lot of us eat with our eyes as well.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce the ranch is all blended up, store in a jar in the fridge. I reuse clean spaghetti sauce jars for my ranch, they’re the perfect size! Ranch will be good for about a week.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
