Can’t figure out a seed oil free ranch that’s any good

I’ve replaced everything else there is even good mayo and chicken sauce that is made with avacado oil. But I can’t figure out a good ranch. I’ve tried multiple homemade versions using avacado oil, avacado oil mayo, sour cream and even yogurt and they aren’t any good. I even bought the chosen foods avacado oil ranch and it’s no good all the other sauces I’ve tried from them are good. I’m starting to think it’s impossible to make good ranch without soybean oil.

Why? Are you allergic to see oils?

Seed oils are fine to consume in moderation. The seed oil in your Ranch Dressing isn't going to do anything negative to you.

Men fall for more new age bullshit than women, serious.

I'm not sure what kind of seasonings you use to make homemade but this one is good. I've made it a few times.

There's no evidence supporting the belief that seed oils consumed in moderation are bad for you.

Primal kitchen is better imo. It’s not ranch - it won’t be ranch. It’s tasty though.

Have you ever played around with the hidden valley packet? You could see what happens if you mix it with sour cream or something- maybe a splash of milk

Edit- I just looked up the packet apparently sour cream is just what you add per the instructions lol. I would probably just make that and then flavor test it and tweak until it was close to what I wanted.

Yeah I’ve played around with multiple recipes the best was hidden valley packet mixed with low fat sour cream a splash of white vinegar and a tablespoon of avacado oil all mixed together but it’s still not very good compared to store bought ranch I’d say it’s a 5/10 at best

I’ve only ever used it for veggies and I like it equally- maybe even more than ranch. I think I remember the first taste being a bit off putting but maybe because I wanted it to be ranch. .
I wouldn’t bother using it on fried food or anything like that.

How are you cooking your chicken? If you want more flavor, coat with ranch and top with some bread crumbs, grated parmesan and bake. I'm not a fan of ranch so I use caesar dressing instead.

Mostly breaded and air fried in avacado oil. I have actually used ranch seasoning on the chicken while cooking before but the thing is I’m a ranch junkie just a little ranch seasoning isn’t enough for me I wanna drench chicken in ranch especially the buffalo wings I make.

Don't forget to take your NAD+, Methylene Blue, do your ice bath and sun your taint. wear your barefoot shoes, drink your AG1 and wear your red light hat.

It makes a difference if youre planning to mass endulge.
1 off no big deal. But if eating ranch everyday, least you can do is put in the effort to make it without seed oilzz
