Easy, five minute low FODMAP Ranch Dressing made with lactose free yoghurt and a few herbs and spices.Â
Right! I’m keeping this short and sweet today so let’s get to it!
I feel like most people either love or hate ranch – there’s no in between here.
Mike hates it because he’s weird about white sauces and dips (???). I absolutely love it. When I was a lot younger I used to dip and cover everything in ranch because I’m a freak. And then I got older and realised that store bought dressings usually contain a million suspicious ingredients and a questionable amount of sugar and I decided to give it all a miss.
Fortunately, like all salad dressings and dips, homemade is always better and super easy to make. This low FODMAP ranch is inspired by the Wellness Mama greek yoghurt ranch. It takes about 5 minutes to make with most of that time spent locating the spices. Just mix it all together in a small bowl or jar and season with a few FODMAP friendly herbs spices. Add a splash of garlic infused olive oil to give this a little more of that garlic flavour usually found in traditional ranch dressings or just leave out all together.
Drizzle over salads, dip your favourite veggies in or add to wraps/sandwiches– this low FODMAP ranch should keep well in the fridge for at least a week.

Notes
To find low lactose cheese make sure to check the amount of sugars listed in the nutritional label. You'll want to find a cheese that has 0 grams or close to 0 grams of sugar - normally hard cheeses are lower in lactose.

Sarah Nevins says
Ha! I know what you mean – thanks, Amy!
Karmen Wood-Skinner says
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have recently been diagnosed with SIBO and have a super restrictive diet. Finding tho has helped a ton with enjoying my veggies and salads!
Sarah Nevins says
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that – thanks Karmen!
Kasey says
Plain lactose free yogurt?
Sarah Nevins says
yes!
Judy says
I dont know why this turned out really thick and not good tasting at all, sprised because of all the good comments. Dont know what i did wrong😔, desperate to find a good salad dressing.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Judy! Sorry to hear you’re not a fan but totally understand! Low FODMAP recipes can sometimes be tricky to nail down for each person.
If you wanted to try improving on the texture here you could always try adding an additional 1-2 tablespoons olive oil to thin this out
Beth says
Hey if I don’t care for chives, do you think it will make much of a difference in the recipe?
Sarah says
Hi Beth! Chives are usually pretty essential in ranch dressings, but if you’re used to eating things without chives that should be no problem at all!
HStave says
We grow garlic chives in our garden. I’m going to try this with those chives and a touch of garlic oil! Mmm… thanks for the recipe!
Sarah Nevins says
Hope you love it!
Ruth says
Thank you for this recipe! You have no idea what a lifesaver this has been and so simple and quick to make. My 17 1/2 year old non-verbal severely autistic and developmentally delay son was diagnosed with IBS in January. He loves salads and cut vegetables with ranch dressing so finding a FODMAP friendly dressing that I could make myself without spending the big bucks on a FODY brand was heaven sent. He loves it so much (and so do the rest of us) that we have to hide it in the fridge! It is so delicious, I have made it with both the garlic infused oil and without and found the garlic version a little overpowering – personally I find it pretty savoury without but saying that might try it again with less garlic infused oil. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!
Sarah says
Hi Ruth! That makes me so happy to hear how much you guys have enjoyed it! Thank you so much for coming back to share that – it totally makes my day! If you guys ever have any types requests for specific recipes that you’d like to see low FODMAP please let me know because I’m always looking for ones that might be helpful!
Helen says
Sounds good, can’t wait to try it. You’ll wAnt to fix your recipe card to say 16 servings or tablespoons, not 16 cups 🙂
Sarah says
Whoops! Don’t know how I managed that 😀 Thanks Helen, hope you love it!
Krista says
Have you tired making ranch dressing seasoning low-FODMAP?
Sarah says
Hi Krista! I haven’t done a seasoning mix on it’s own but here’s one that you might like: https://tararochfordnutrition.com/homemade-ranch-packet-mix/ It basically just uses the same flavours
Chad says
Hey I was reading all the reviews & when I came across this 1 I tried opening the link for ranch seasoning. It will not work anymore. How can I find this recipe thanks?
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Chad! Oops! I think the original website changed name – here’s the new link to the seasoning: https://tararochfordnutrition.com/homemade-ranch-packet-mix/ Thanks for pointing that out to me so I could fix it!
Kay says
Can’t wait to make this I miss my ranch dressing on my salads. Also have u ever heard of Asafoetida powder. I’ve heard it is an Indian flavoring that mimics onion and garlic. They say it is very strong could u use that instead of the infused oil?
Sarah says
Hi Kay! Hope you like it!
I have tried asafoetida and I kind of hated it:D That being said I might give it another try soon. I also read all about it being a good sub for garlic & onion and I think going in expecting it to be like that ruined it for me. I think if I give it another try with different expectations I might enjoy it more, but I do agree that it has a strong flavour. I’ve seen other low fodmap ranches that use a little bit of asafoetida so it’s definitely one to add in and see if you like!
Ss says
If I’m not mistaken it has to be cooked in order for it to have the onion and garlic flavor. Otherwise it’s too strong.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi S! Which part are you referring to that needs to be cooked? Chives are usually pretty good at imparting oniony flavours and when raw
HStave says
Asafoetida. It has to be fried in oil to get rid of the sulfur smell and bitter flavor. It is simply awful if not cooked down!
Sarah Nevins says
I see! That’s really good to know – I’ll have to give it another try in that case! Thanks for the tip!
Albert Bevia says
When I was younger I was the same, I dipped everything from pizza to burgers on ranch!!! but yeah, as yo get older you can´t do that! unless it´s this amazing recipe you came up with! this ranch sounds delicious, love the parmesan and dijon mustard you added….amazing recipe 🙂
Sarah says
It’s just so good! Thanks Albert!
