This Creamy Vegan Ranch Dressing Has Everyone Eating More Salads
This is my go to dressing that has helped everyone I know eat more salads. It has all the delicious flavors and creaminess of a ranch dressing minus the dairy. So if you are someone who can’t have dairy, give this one a try. Your tastebuds will be thanking me for it.
I’ve provided 2 versions of this recipe below. Both are absolutely scrumptious, one is just packed with the flavor of fresh ingredients while the other is deliciously perfect if you need a quick and easy dressing.
Recipe 1 (Fresh Ingredients)

- 1/2 small onion
- 1 TBSP fresh dill (this is on the stronger side so, adjust to your preference)

- 1 1/2 – 2 cups of water (depending on how thick you want the dressing)
- Sea salt to taste
