    Can You Freeze Low Carb Ranch Dressing? How Long Does Ranch Stay Fresh?

    The combination of ingredients used in this Keto Ranch dressing recipe does not freeze well. But it's so incredibly quick and easy to make, you can have it ready in minutes.

    One of the ways to extend the shelf life of homemade salad dressing in the fridge is to look for the expiration date on the dairy products when purchasing them. Choose ones with a date the furthest out.

    Ranch dressing will keep in the fridge for as long as the expiration date is good on the dairy products you used. So, for instance, if the sour cream has the shortest expiration date, that would be the date your low carb dressing would be considered fresh until.

      very similar to one I make. I will try the subtle change of adding the ACvinegar and lemon. otherwise, it is identical. Love it and it keeps 2 weeks in trfridge for me.

        This is a super versatile recipe, so if you don't like mayo, I am sure you could use whatever you typically use as a substitute in creamy dressing.

      I know there must be a reason for the apple cider vinegar, I do not know what however I understand it does something -- but the smell! oh my. Is there something, anything, I mean anything on the planet that can be used in lieu of this ingredient. Please

        You can use white wine or red wine vinegar if that works better for you.

        I store mine in the fridge for 5-7 days, in an airtight container and it's typically gone by then. I hope that helps!

      I made this recipe this week and it is a huge hit with my husband and boys. They can’t get enough of it! I don’t care for store bought ranch dressing but I think this recipe is divine. I also used the base of this recipe ( mayo, cream and sour cream) and added crumbled blue cheese for another yummy keto dressing.

        Hi Sue,
        Glad this was a hit with your husband and boys! Ever since I started making my own dressings, I try not to use store bought because it's too easy to make your own! I do actually have a blue cheese dressing where I use my same base.
