Are you looking for an easy gluten-free ranch salad dressing recipe? Homemade salad dressings are so delicious. Family and friends will be begging you for this recipe.

My husband and I are on a pretty tight food budget, which can be frustrating when food prices just seem to climber higher and higher. I have found that sometimes a product having a certified gluten-free label carries a higher price. Have you seen the price of salad dressings? Wow, if you buy a lot of dressing those prices will help break your budget pretty quick. Click here for some tips on how to eat gluten-free on a budget.

I love making salad dressings from scratch. Knowing what the ingredients are (and how fresh they are) gives me peace of mind. Did you know that most gluten-free ranch salad dressings contain soybean oil as the first ingredient? While some boast that they are made with buttermilk, it is usually in the form of a powder. If you are buying store-bought, be sure to read those food labels. It is vital to living a life of gluten freedom. Click here for a great article on reading labels.

You are gonna love how easy it is to make gluten-free ranch salad dressing. I make mine in my Vitamix blender, but any blender will do. I use homemade gluten-free mayonnaise (it is so easy to make) and organic buttermilk as the base. Blending helps to make sure that all the ingredients are mixed to perfect creaminess, with no lumps. After all, who wants lumpy salad dressing!

The secret to the best ranch dressing, gluten-free or not, is using the freshest ingredients possible. Be sure to check your herbs for expiration dates or if you grow your own and dry them, make sure they are fresh!

I love dipping chicken tenders and french fries in this yummy dressing. It is also perfect for drizzling over gluten-free fish tacos.
