Herb Ranch Dressing

Life is better when you have ranch dressing in it, so we set out to bring it back into our lives. It uses cashews as a creamy base and has traditional ranch seasonings like dill, parsley, and onion. It’s easy to make in a blender. We’ve made improvements to the recipe over the years making it nearly perfect. Great on entree salads or as a place to dip veggies or pizza crust, this egg-free, dairy-free dressing is tangy, herby – it’s just the best. We’re not sure why anyone would want to buy store-bought again.

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.
