vegan ranch

Take the classic creamy dressing, but make it vegan.

Vegan Ranch Recipe

Sometimes I feel like I eat so many carrots I’ll turn orange—this dressing is the reason why. I always have a jar of vegan ranch on hand to snack with. It’s perfectly creamy (thanks to the nutritional yeast) and has a burst of herby flavor from the fresh dill and chives. I dare you to try not to eat every carrot you find once you’ve made this! 

Ingredients for Vegan Ranch

  • Heaping 1/2 cup raw, unsalted cashews

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

  • Juice of two lemons

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill

  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Vegan Ranch 

  1. Add the cashews, olive oil, water, and nutritional yeast to a blender and pulse to combine.

  2. Once smooth, pour into a large mason jar and add the lemon juice, chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir together with a butter knife (trust me) and enjoy!
