The BEST Vegan Ranch Dressing

BEST Vegan Ranch Dressing Recipe

2 cups of unsweetened PLAIN non-dairy milk

1 – cup COOKED Yukon Gold potato (about 9 ounces)

1/2 cup of unsweetened PLAIN non-dairy yogurt (I used one made of almonds & soy)

4 Tablespoons dried parsley

2 teaspoons Dill SEED (essential, different than dill weed)

2 teaspoons Dill WEED

2 teaspoons Sumac (or Benson’s Table Tasty, or use SALT)

t teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

4 Tablespoons lemon juice

4 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar

2 Tablespoons mustard (like Westbrae salt-free)

2 Medjool Dates, pitted

Add black pepper to taste

* 4 Tablespoons Tahini [MY OPINION: TAHINI IS UNNECESSARY! TOO FAT & ADDS NOTHING FOR ME. I WILL EXCLUDE IT NEXT TIME.]

Consider adding a Tablespoon of Nutritional Yeast. Some say it doesn’t seem to make a difference, so it is optional.

Place all ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth.  Pour into a glass container and refrigerate.  Keeps fresh about 5-7 days.
