Herb Ranch Dressing

kcalLife 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.
Ingredients
- For the dressing base:
1 cup (150 g) raw cashews
1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened milk of choice
1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
1/2 lemon, peeled
1 Tablespoon (9 g) finely chopped garlic
Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, honey, agave, etc)
- For the seasonings:
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 Tablespoon all-purpose, onion-based seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a high-performance blender, combine cashews, milk, apple cider vinegar, peeled lemon, garlic, and sweetener of choice.
- Blend on high speed for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in all the seasonings.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes
- Adjust lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to taste for desired acidity.

This is fabulous. Agree with using no sweetner at all.

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.

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.”
