- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. Whisk together and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to mimic buttermilk, providing a tangy base for your dressing.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl. Whisk these ingredients until combined, providing a creamy texture to the dressing.
Stir in the Paleo-friendly BBQ sauce, ensuring that the sauce is fully incorporated through the mixture.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Whisk all ingredients together until the dressing reaches a smooth and uniform consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the BBQ Ranch Dressing into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve as a dressing over salads, use as a dip for veggies, or as a sauce for various Paleo dishes.
