Creamy Vegan Ranch Dip

April 10, 2014 2 Comments

Ranch-Dip-Vegan

I’ve never been a big fan of Ranch dressing on salads, but for some reason, I find it incredible when dipping fresh veggies into it. Which is pretty much the same thing, since salads = fresh veggies. I guess I’m just weird.

The last time I tried my hand at Ranch dip, it was too runny for my taste, so I changed things up a bit, and now this one is much more to my liking. If you don’t like your dip to be as thick, or if you want to use it as a dressing instead of a dip, just add a bit more plant milk.

I used cashews for the dip you see in the photos, but I’ve also made it with tofu with great success. If you want to keep things soy-free, just use cashews.

This ultra-creamy ranch dip is a much healthier version than the kind sold in grocery stores, and it really cannot be any simpler to make. Yum!

    I was surprised at how creamy this dip turned out to be. I’ve never blended cashews before and it turned out great! I had to double the seasonings though because it wasn’t quite tangy enough for me.
