If you have followed me for very long, you know by now that I am a BIG sauce gal. I love adding a little sauce to a lot of my recipes, just to give them a little “oomph.” My Whole30 BBQ Ranch is truly magical and will bring any salad, protein or veggies to life.

Some people assume that making homemade sauces take too much time and that’s simply not true. I can whip up my basic ranch dressing in under 2 minutes and it is even better than the store bought version. I love making my own because I know exactly what is in it and there are no hidden additives and ingredients. It’s clean, simple and delicious.

Can I buy a Whole30 compliant BBQ Sauce for this BBQ Ranch instead of making my own?

Yes, you absolutely can. I have 2 brands that I really love and that taste like legit BBQ sauce without any additional additives or sneaky sugars. You can find The New Primal’s BBQ Sauces at Whole Foods and really any health food stores. As far as Tessemas, you can also get at Whole Foods and Target. Click on the pictures below to shop these brands from Amazon.

How long will this BBQ Ranch last in the fridge?

The BBQ Ranch will last in the fridge for up to 1 week. I will seal tight using my Weck Jars and it stores so well. It is important to always throw this out after 7 days due to the egg used in the recipe. If you are worried about using a raw egg, feel free to use pasteurized egg.

However, if you use the homemade BBQ sauce, this can store for up to 4 weeks in an air tight jar. I always store all my sauces in a Weck Jar because they seal great.

    I subbed plain, unsweetened cashew milk yogurt for the mayo because it’s what I had on hand and oh my goodness this recipe is fantastic! The flavors and seasonings were perfectly balanced and gave this dressing a great ranch flavor. Will definitely make again!
