AIP Friendly Coconut Ranch Radish & Cucumber Salad

Ranch dressing is one of those things that feels completely off the table when you're navigating an elimination protocol — buttermilk, mayo, and a long list of additives tend to make it a hard no. This version flips the script entirely by building the dressing from chilled full-fat coconut milk, using just the thick cream that separates overnight to get that lush, creamy texture without any dairy. Fresh dill, chives, and parsley bring the classic herbaceous punch, while apple cider vinegar and lemon juice add the bright tang you'd expect from a proper ranch. Thinly sliced cucumber and radishes give you satisfying crunch in every bite, and the 15-minute rest lets the vegetables soak up all that flavor so the whole salad tastes like it's been marinating for hours. The scallion greens keep things protocol-friendly while still delivering a mild, savory bite that rounds out the bowl beautifully. It comes together quickly, serves four, and honestly looks impressive enough to bring to a gathering — no one will guess it was built around a set of strict ingredient rules.
