To make dairy-free ranch dressing, you’ll need a few simple ingredients to replicate the creamy, tangy flavor of traditional ranch. Here’s a basic recipe:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup dairy-free mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh if preferred)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the dairy-free mayonnaise and plant-based milk. Stir until smooth and well blended.
2. Add the lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix everything together until the dressing is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice for extra tang.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, as this helps the flavors meld together.
Serve your homemade dairy-free ranch with veggies, as a salad dressing, or as a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks!
