1/2 c Heavy Whipping Cream

3/4 c Dukes Mayo
1/2 c full fat sour cream

1/4 tsp dried dill
3/4 tsp garlic powder

4 tsp dried chives

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Ranch Dressing

Step 1: Mix the Base

In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 2: Add the Flavor

Stir in the white vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Incorporate the Herbs

Mix in the parsley, dill, and chives until well combined.

Step 4: Adjust to Taste

If the dressing is too thick, thin it with extra heavy cream or almond milk.
If you prefer a tangier taste, add a bit more lemon juice or vinegar.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

For the best flavor, let the dressing sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps the flavors meld together.
