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?

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!
