I used to keep ranch mix on hand, but one day I went to the cupboard and realized I was out! So after some quick thinking, I came up with this awesome recipe that is ready in no time!
After 14 years of making this ranch dip for every family event, every holiday, and every party, it has been perfected into the most amazing ranch you’ll ever have.
Plus, because it doesn’t use sour cream, you can make this a dairy free dip without any trouble.
2 Minute Ranch Dip with Dairy Free Options
This ranch dip is very forgiving, so you can add a little bit more or less of something without having it be a crazy mess! I always tend to go a little heavy handed with the garlic, but this recipe is a nice even balance of spices that you can play with to find your own personal preferences!
Since this recipe doesn’t call for sour cream, you can make it a completely dairy free ranch dip by choosing a non-dairy milk!
You can substitute in any milk you’d like. It’s doesn’t have to be animal milk… I’ve made this recipe with coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, raw milk, and more!
I bet you have everything you need to whip this up right now. So grab your favorite milk and give it a try!
This easy ranch drip without sour cream is perfect for dipping vegetables or chips, or anything in between!

I made this with “Best Foods Vegan Dressing and Sandwich Spread” and water to thin because I only had Vanilla flavored Almond milk. It was extremely good!!! I haven’t been able to have Ranch dressing in years and this was such a treat. My very picky adult son even thought it was good. Definitely a keeper!
