Description

This easy Vegan Ranch Dressing is creamy with a little zesty tang for your tastebuds. Try it with some Buffalo Cauliflower Wings or serve as a salad dressing. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150g (1 cup) raw cashews, soaked in water overnight
  • 250ml (1 cup) almond milk
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 6g (2 tsp) garlic powder
  • 2g (1/2 tsp) onion powder
  • 10ml (2 tsp) apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • fresh dill, washed and chopped finely [optional]
  • fresh parsley, washed and chopped finely [optional]
  • fresh chives, washed and chopped finely [optional]

Instructions

  1. Place the drained, soaked cashews in a high powered blender, along with milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder and vinegar.
  2. Blend until smooth then season to taste.
  3. Garnish with parsley, dill or chives.
  4. Serve immediately as a dip with crackers and vegetable crudites, or Cauliflower Buffalo Wings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Alternatively, if you didn’t soak the cashew nuts in water overnight, you can use a shortcut by pouring boiling water over them and soaking the nuts for 10 minutes. Drain and proceed with the recipe.
  • This vegan ranch dressing will store in the fridge for up to a week. The cold temperature will thicken it though.
  • This recipe is not suitable for freezing. Additionally, if you find you have too much almond milk leftover, then check out my guide on Freezing Almond Milk as your results can vary depending on how you use it once thawed.
