Recipe - Paleo Ranch and Paleo Mayo

Yeah, you read that right. Ranch! Calm down your gitty inner school girl, so you can hear me. I made this on a whim and actually "messed up" the recipe. Thank god for mistakes because this stuff is the shit! You can eat it on everything...literally. One of the main things that I missed when we went Paleo was condiments. Sauces. Dips. Instant Jazz for chicken, beef and fish. Ranch seemed to be my go to sauce for almost everything and I missed it terribly. I've developed a recipe that will have you licking the bowl and/or your fingers (recommended).

Here you go; you're welcome.

Paleo Ranch
Ingredients
1 Cup Paleo Mayo (see below; Ranch is the start so this is a bonus recipe!)
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk ( Feel free to add more at the end if you like a thinner ranch)
1 Tbsp of Garlic Powder
3 Tbsp of Dill
1/2 Tsp of Salt
1 Tsp of Onion powder
1/2 Tsp of Black Pepper
1 Tsp Cider Vinegar

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients in food processor or blender
2. Enjoy

This is a true staple of Paleo; Mayo. It's totally different from the processed junk you get in the stores. It actually has a flavor. Now, I never liked mayo as a kid or even as an adult; however, when I tried this one it was an instant attraction. Fireworks. It's creamy, rich and flavorful without being heavy or oily. Try it; I think you like it. It's also the base of many different Paleo sauces. We love adding different stuff to the completed mixture like cilantro, Paleo sirachca and even black pepper to amp up the flavor.


Paleo Mayo
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups Olive Oil (not EVOO)
1 1/2 Tsp Dry Mustard
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1/2 Tsp Salt
3 Eggs

Directions

1. Place eggs, mustard, salt and lemon juice in blender (Vitamix will revolutionize your life here)
2. Blend eggs, mustard, salt and lemon juice on high
3. With blender running, slowly pour in oil; slowly - like drop by drop - it should take you a few mins to fully add in all the oil (If you have a Vitamix, you can add all the oil within 60 seconds)
4. You'll begin to see the mixture emulsify and turn into creamy mayo goodness
5. Enjoy
