Vegan Ranch Dressing Recipe

This vegan ranch dressing is super flavorful, creamy, tangy, and takes less than 5 minutes to prepare with simple pantry ingredients! Even better, this dairy-free ranch recipe is also gluten-free, and you can make it oil-free/nut-free. In no time at all, you have a delicious herby vegan salad dressing, dip, spread, or sauce!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 g) vegan mayonnaise (see notes)
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 3/4 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard or use 1 tsp fresh
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 3-5 tbsp dairy-free milk or water, to thin
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped chives to taste (I used 1 1/2 tbsp)

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk thoroughly until combined. I added about 3 tablespoons of dairy-free milk, as I prefer a thicker dressing, but feel free to add more for a thinner dressing.
  • Try it and add more seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.
  • You can use the dressing immediately, or transfer it to a jar and let it marinate in the fridge for a few hours. Serve with crudités like carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, bell pepper strips, celery sticks, baby corn, and tomato slices or Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used homemade vegan mayonnaise (oil-free), but you can use your favorite brand of store-bought mayo.
