How to make Duck Fat Ranch Dressing
Blend the Duck Fat Mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt until the mixture comes out smooth.
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley and dill and pulse a few times to combine.
Enjoy. Add it to your steaks, make my Cobb ‘Salad’ with Ranch Dressing, or pair it with whatever!
Store in the fridge in an air-tight container or in a condiment squeeze bottle, if you prefer.
Tips to make the best Duck Fat Ranch Dressing
- Chop the fresh parsley and dill into very fine pieces. If you don’t do this, you will have herb globs in your dressing.
- When you add the finely chopped parsley and dill to the mixture, make sure to pulse only a few times, otherwise your ranch dressing will come out green.
- If storing in a condiment squeeze bottle, the ranch dressing may firm up a bit after sitting in the fridge. Just squeeze the bottle a few times to massage it and it will end up squeezing out.

Amazing … advice for duck fat substitute?

Avocado oil is probably the next best option. Bacon fat could work too.
Would tallow be too firm? I just tried coconut oil and it tastes waaaay too much like coconut

Yea, I don’t think the texture of tallow would work well.
How long does this last stored in the fridge?
