Vegan Ranch Dressing, Healthy Style

While Ranch Dressing often is loaded with dairy fat, cholesterol, and unhealthy additives, our Vegan Ranch Dressing is super healthy and delicious! We’ve reconfigured our recipe to offer a very healthy and flavorful version. Enjoy this on a salad, or with our, Buffalo Cauliflower Bites for a great Buffalo Wing replacement.

Our vegan ranch dressing recipe calls for raw cashews. If you prefer, you can substitute cashew butter or silken tofu for the base. Many recipes suggest soaking the cashews and while this does help them blend more smoothly if you are short on time, it does work with unsoaked cashews.

As always, consider this a starting point. Adjust the flavors to suit your taste buds!

Ingredients

3/4 cup raw cashews (soaked for 3-4 hours, if you wish)

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk (or your favorite plant milk)

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon onion powder (or use 1/4 cup chopped scallions)

2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

2 teaspoons dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

In a blender, combine the cashews, seeds, and milk. Blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and continue blending until well mixed. Chill until ready to use.
