How to make vegan ranch dressing

First, gather your ingredients.

Ingredients

For tastiest results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to.

Ingredients with label text on white surface

To make this vegan ranch dressing recipe, you will need the following:

  • raw cashews
  • unsweetened plant milk (I use Westsoy organic unsweet soy milk)
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • white vinegar
  • salt and pepper
  • chives
  • parsley
  • dill

Soaking the cashews

You can potentially skip this step if you are using a high speed blender such as a Vitamix. (Amazon affiliate link – that is the model I have.) Soak the cashews in warm water for at least 30 minutes. This softens the cashews and makes them super creamy when blended.

Blending vegan ranch dressing

Drain water off prior to blending.

Place the drained cashews, plant milk, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, salt and pepper into a blander.

Blend until smooth.

Taste for salt and pepper amount. Add more, to taste if desired. Also, if you desire a thinned consistency add a slight bit more water or plant milk. Just slowly add a little bit at a time. I tend to make this thicker when using as a dip, and I prefer it a bit thinner for drizzling over salads.

Stir in the parsley, chives and dill. This prevents the herbs from being puréed.

Transfer to storage container, and refrigerate for up to a week. (Note: dressing will thicken with refrigeration. you can thin out by adding more water or plant milk.)
