Whether you’re a vegan or just looking to incorporate more veggie-focused foods on your plate, this easy vegan ranch dressing recipe is a delicious and nutritious way to reimagine America’s favorite condiment.<\/p>\n
Yes, you can enjoy the creamy texture, herby essence, and tangy flavor of classic ranch dressing<\/a> without any eggs or dairy. It just takes a few simple plant-based food swaps! This recipe is so good that this veganized version may become one of your new go-to homemade salad dressing recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, dairy-free milk, parsley, chives, cider vinegar, garlic, onion powder, dill weed, salt, pepper and paprika until well blended.<\/p>\n Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least one hour before serving. Garnish with additional chives if desired.<\/p>\n Store your vegan ranch dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for up to two weeks.<\/p>\n Vegan ranch makes a perfect dip for fresh veggies on a vegan charcuterie board<\/a> and for dunking vegan comfort foods<\/a>. Pour it over a hearty vegan salad<\/a>, zest up a plant-based potato salad or vegan pasta salad, or spread it on veggie burgers<\/a>, hummus and veggie wrap-ups<\/a> or a sandwich made with your favorite vegan bread<\/a>. This versatile dressing makes a great addition to vegan recipes<\/a> that everyone can appreciate!<\/p>\n You can use dairy-free yogurt or sour cream to achieve a creamy texture and add a nice tang in the dressing. You can also blend soaked cashews with cauliflower, olive oil, lemon juice and a little water for a perfect plant-based mayo replacement. A ripe avocado<\/a> can be mashed and added for a creamy, buttery, nutrient-rich dressing base. Also, silken tofu<\/a> is an excellent alternative to vegan mayo due to its smooth, creamy texture. Blend it until smooth, and use it as a one-to-one replacement for mayo in your dressing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy vegan ranch dressing is a perfect dairy-free
