Homemade Ranch dressing - vegan, vegetarian, GF



I miss lots of food being vegan. One of the ones I REALLY miss is ranch dressing. It was my go-to for so long. I was determined to make a dairy free version of it.

AND I DID! I actually prefer it more than regular ranch because it is homemade!

Here is what you will need:

1/4 c almond milk

1/2 c veganaise *

6 tsp tofutti *

1 tbsp red onion - finely minced

1 tbsp fresh italian parsley - finely minced

1 tbsp fresh dill - finely minced

1 garlic clove - minced

1 tsp  lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

one pinch of sugar

Pour all these ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid (I prefer mason jars) 
 and shake that thang! 

This dressing can be refrigerated for about 5 days. I make a batch each week so I can have it on salads, sandwiches, and on anything that needs that comforting taste we are all so in love with. 

If you want a spicy ranch, or south west ranch, then sub cilantro for dill, puree a 1/2 c of salsa, and add to the mix.  Or I have added 2 tbsp of brown mustard to the mix for some flavor. Whatever way you make if your own, i am sure you will love it! 

Enjoy my friends!

Love

*veganaise and tofutti can be found in the refrigerated health section of your local grocery store. If not, then it will be at any whole foods for sure.
