If you're going on a picnic or just relaxing around the house, have some washed and cut veggies ready to go along with a tasty homemade dip.
- ¾ cup GF sour cream or buttermilk/alternative for dressing
- ¾ cup GF mayonnaise or Vegan Mayonnaise
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried marjoram

- Pepper to taste
-
In a bowl, whisk the mayo and the buttermilk together until smooth.
-
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Season with pepper and additional salt to taste.
-
Refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavors blend.
To use fresh herbs instead, mince the herbs finely, and use 3 times as much (e.g. 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1 ½ teaspoons fresh marjoram and thyme).
To Make Buttermilk put ¾ Tbsp vinegar into measuring cup and add whole milk (or milk alternative) to bring to ¾ cup - let stand 5 minutes.
For dairy-free version, replace sour cream with silken tofu (blended until smooth in a blender)-For salad dressing, replace sour cream with buttermilk (or milk alternative)

You are welcome Kelly. Have a great week.
So many people have allergies or food intolerances so its great to have recipes like this for parties so people can relax and enjoy all the food. I love how you’ve served this in the peppers, I’m definitely stealing THAT idea!
Thank you Julie. it is hard to entertain and still keep to all the different diet restrictions. And go ahead and steal the idea. I did! Fruits and veggies are great with the “extras” put right in them.
I LOVE homemade ranch–it’s so much better than store bought!
I totally agree Laura!!
We LOVE homemade ranch! There is really nothing like it!

Firstly, who would have ever guessed there’d be GLUTEN in ranch? Lame. My son is gluten-free, so hanks for the recipe! Moreover, I LOVE how you’ve used the hollowed out peppers to hold the dip! Brilliant!
Thanks Mia. I guess the substitutes here are in the mayo and sour cream. I have no idea what make those gluten but heh. I am glad you like the recipe. The presentation wasn’t an original, but I will gladly take the kudos! LOL. Have a great week.
I cannot stand storebought Ranch, homemade is a completely different story though. Awesome recipe.
Thank you Elise! I like homemade items so much better. Have a wonderful week.

My oldest LOVES ranch dip with her veggies, but there’s so much nasty stuff in it. Thanks for sharing a great alternative and thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
You are welcome Leslie. It seems as time goes by all the additives and preservatives in foods are really doing me in. I know others feel it too. Have a wonderful week.
Good to know that those who need to eat gluten free can still enjoy ranch!
