After my celiac disease diagnosis in 2014 and my eventual PCOS diagnosis, I decided to try changing my diet to be gluten and dairy-free. Dairy can be very inflammatory on women's bodies, and mine is significantly impacted by it. You can read more about that here if you'd like. One of the products that I missed a lot in my new dairy-free lifestyle was ranch. I ordered online and found many dairy-free ranch dressings in grocery stores that didn't taste right. I eventually gave up searching. After realizing I had the rest of my life to live, I needed a dairy-free ranch option, so I went to work in my kitchen, trying to find a blend that I loved.
