Low FODMAP Ranch Dressing Recipe

There’s something about ranch dressing that makes you feel like a kid again. Sure, it was a great way for our parents to get us to eat our vegetables, but there’s something so simply delicious about it. The creamy texture is a great addition to any food, especially those that weren’t our favorites.

Every now and then, I crave that nostagic flavor like most people. However, the low FODMAP diet restricts all store bought salad dressings. Yes… all. Seriously, I have personally checked every salad dressing label and every one contain at least one forbidden FODMAP ingredient. Enter this delightful low FODMAP ranch dressing recipe. It will make you think you’re a kid again.

  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Dill
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chives, Diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, Diced

  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika

  1. Combine all ingredients into a small bowl.
  2. Whisk together.
  3. Refrigerate or use immediately.

Notes:

  • Please feel free to modify as you wish, I scaled back the spices here to align with everyone’s tastes. Usually, I tend to add a little more paprika to spice it up a bit.
  • To adjust the thickness to your taste, add or reduce the amount of Olive Oil.
  • This low FODMAP ranch dressing will keep for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

In my neighborhood, there’s been an explosion of BBQ places that have popped up recently. As you walk by, the smell is just incredible! I am not sure if this is a nationwide trend or something that’s only happening in Chicago, but it got my taste buds excited about that unique BBQ flavor.

Unfortunately, those on the low FODMAP diet can’t rely on bottled BBQ sauces due to the spices and high fructose corn syrup in most. However, homemade low FODMAP BBQ sauce is extremely easy to make… and extremely delicious, too.
