Recipe ingredient substitutions

*Keep in mind, if you use fresh herbs, chives, garlic or onion, the ranch sauce will not last as long in the fridge.*

Store-bought mayonnaise substitutions: instead of using store-bought mayonnaise, you can also make your own olive oil mayonnaise.

Dried parsley and dill substitutions: instead of using dried herbs, swap it out for fresh herbs.

Dried chive substitutions: instead of dehydrated chives, swap it out for diced up fresh chives.

Onion and garlic powder substitutions: instead of using the powdered forms, you can swap it out for fresh garlic or onions (diced up shallot, white onion, or red onion).

White vinegar substitutions: swap it out for fresh squeezed lemon juice, or other vinegars such as apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, or white wine vinegar.

Recipe variations

Make your own mayonnaise: if you prefer to make everything from scratch, you can make your own mayonnaise. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil.

Make it with dairy: instead of regular mayo, swap it out (in part or fully) for sour cream or yogurt.

Dietary modifications

Make this recipe low FODMAP: omit the garlic and onion powder. Check the ingredients on your mayonnaise to see whether it contains any garlic or onion. Consider making your own homemade mayo from scratch.

Make this recipe vegan: swap out the regular mayonnaise for vegan mayonnaise.
