Really Ranch Dressing!

Category: Condiments, Dressings, Spreads

Suitable for a: vegan diet

Ingredients:

------------------------------------------------------

I've talked about posting this several times but never actually did it (I was just reminded)...

The BEST and most "authentic" tasting vegan ranch you can find, and you probably have all the ingredients to make it right now!

1 cup vegan mayonnaise

1/2 cup plain soy milk

1/2 cup vegan sour cream (OR 1/2 cup pureed silken tofu)

1 tsp. white vinegar

1/2 tsp celery salt OR:

1 tsp celery seed AND 1/4 tsp salt

2 tablespoons very finely chopped green onions (or fresh chives, chopped)

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 Tablespoon minced parsley (fresh is WAY better here)

1 garlic clove, finely minced

(You can whiz parsley, garlic and a little soymilk in the food processor to make it faster)

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

------------------------------------------------------

Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Shake well to blend. Adjust seasonings to your preference.

Makes 2 cups.

Hubby and all his omni buddies ate a ton of it..they had no clue it wasn't "real ranch" as they called it when I told them it was veg*n..LOL

I'm going to make some more to bring to a BBQ as a dip for veggies...I'll be the only veg person there, but I bet I have to fight for a taste of it!

O duh! I went out today and did a zillion errands..one of them was supposed to be buying new herb plants...that freaky snow we had last week killed mine...

Snow in Arizona in May...WTF?!

I love the ranch-y flavour, I can't wait to dip my vegan pizza in this at lunch!
I made this the first time last year (so yummy) and I made it at night, so it sat in the fridge til the next day...it was a little bit thicker the next day.

Omni hubby would drink this if I let him...

Me, too! Especially with some unexpected (in a good way) ingredients.

Fruits, nuts, seeds, whatever, it makes them so yummy.

Do not make this and leave unattended near teenagers.

They will eat it with spoons, like soup. :p
I always have salad and carrots & celery and jicama!

OOOO I can't let my niece know about the "ranch soup"...she'd be all over it!

Seriously, I love this recipe and I say a thank you to you every time I make it...which is quite often!

I have made it both ways and I like it either way, but I think I like the sour cream version a teeny little bit better...its really close though.

Hubby (omni) likes it made with the vegan sour cream, but he doesn't know what's in it either way. When I made it with the tofu he told me it tasted a little different and I of course just lied and said I had been low on some seasonings.


Either way is good, but I pretty much stick with the vegan sour cream version now so I don't have to listen to hubby whine.
