DJ says
We make this all the time with one exchange. We use Anthony’s heavy cream (whipping cream) powder instead of buttermilk powder. The diff is mostly in the carbs ~ 30 gram buttermilk powder is 15 gram carb. 30 gram heavy cream powder is only 2.5 gram carbs. Making it more keto friendly for all your seasoning and dipping needs.
Heidi says
That’s a great tip, DJ… thanks so much for sharing!!
Scott S says
We made this to try it and its close but, your missing the “tang” but heres how to get that and trust me if you do this it will raise this up a few levels and make your recipe unique, I’m a trained chef and to make this better we made a 1c Milk•1c Mayo•2 tbsp Ranch Powder mix and 1 tsp L-Ascorbic Acid, the ascorbic acid adds the “tang” this dressing needs, do not use citric acid its not the same thing. I suggest adding the ascorbic acid as you make the dressing not when you make the mix. Blue Skies……

Can I use whole milk and regular mayo as opposed to light?
Heidi says
Absolutely, that will work just fine.
