Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup (120g) vegan mayo
- ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened non-dairy milk (oat or almond preferred)
- 1½ tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
Seasonings and Herbs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¾ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried chives (optional)
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the Base: In a medium mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the vegan mayo, unsweetened non-dairy milk, and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
- Add Herbs and Seasonings: Incorporate the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives (if using), fine sea salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the ranch dressing and adjust the salt or acidity as needed, adding more salt or vinegar/lemon juice based on your preference for tanginess and seasoning.
- Adjust Consistency: For a thinner dressing, add more non-dairy milk one teaspoon at a time, stirring well after each addition. For a thicker dip consistency, add more vegan mayo incrementally until desired thickness is reached.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste before serving.
Notes
- Use oat or almond milk as preferred non-dairy milk; unsweetened versions prevent added sugars.
- Dried herbs are used for convenience, but fresh herbs can be substituted for a fresher flavor (adjust quantities accordingly).
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
- Adjust consistency based on intended use: thinner for salad dressing, thicker for dip or spread.
- Perfect for those following a vegan or lactose-free diet.
