Here's how we Make Ranch Dressing (vegan and noyoke-style)

If you were to sum up the American diet, what would it be?
Sugar, salt and dairy, right?
Bottle that up and what do you get?
Ranch dressing!
Here’s a dairy-free, no sugar added recipe you can whip up in any blender (Vitamix helpful, but not required).
It’s easy, it’s healthy, it’s quick. And, dare I say it’s just like the real thing?

PREP:

MIX:

Useful tips for Ranch Dressing
Adjust lemon juice and apple cider vinegar levels for more or less acidity.
How long will this keep? Its alot for 1 person! LOL!
It’s good, go sparingly on sweet, had to add another garlic clove and half of a lemon to reduce sweet, it may not need it at all depending on taste buds, but add small and increase, far easier as there is no measurement for sweet.
I just made this and it was fantastic!!
Is it a ½ cup lemon juice or the juice of ½ a lemon?
Love your recipes!
Thanks Lenny.
Half of a peeled lemon. We’ll update to clarify. Thanks!
Add to the instructions to “drain the soaking water from the cashews before using.”
Updated. Thanks, Mary!
