What Is It Made Of?

This vegan Buffalo Ranch Dressing is made with vegan mayo, vegan sour cream, almond milk, fresh herbs, lemon juice, hot sauce, and spices.

Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Vegan mayo: Adds a creamy texture and sour flavor.
Vegan sour cream: Adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor.
Almond milk: I used almond milk, but you could use any dairy-free milk.
Fresh parsley: Adds a bitter earthy note. You could also use dried parsley, which I used in my Hemp Ranch Dressing.
Chives: Adds an onion flavor.
Fresh dill: Adds a citrus grassy flavor. You could also use dried dill, which I used in my Hemp Ranch Dressing.
Lemon juice: Balances flavors. Adds an acidic flavor. I prefer using freshly squeezed lemons instead of store-bought lemon juice.
Hot sauce: I used jalapeño hot sauce, but you could use whatever your favorite is.
Onion powder: Adds a strong onion flavor.
Garlic powder: Adds a subtle garlic flavor.
Paprika: Adds a smoky flavor.
Salt and pepper: Enhances flavor and adds flavor.

First, mix vegan mayo, vegan sour cream, and almond milk in a high speed blender or Nutribullet. Next, add chopped fresh herbs and spices.

Now you have Vegan Ranch Dressing. From here you add hot sauce. I used a jalapeño hot sauce, but you could use whatever your favorite is.

Tips

Mix the vegan mayo, vegan sour cream, and almond milk in a high speed blender or Nutribullet instead of by hand. It is a lot faster than whisking all the lumps out.
Start with a little hot sauce and taste it. You can always add more, but you cannot take it away. You may want more or less hot sauce than I've included. Normally, I like spicy foods. For this recipe I only included just enough to give you a slight burn after you've had a mouthful.

Storage

This dressing will last about a week in the fridge. If you don't think you'll use it up in time, adjust the amount of servings in the recipe to suit your needs.

The servings are highlighted in green. When you hover over the servings, you'll see a slider. Slide to your desired amount and the recipe will adjust to the amount of servings you want.

If you have kids that don't like spicy foods you could make half the recipe without hot sauce.

If you want a variety of ranch dressings you could add a chipotle pepper for a Vegan Chipotle Ranch Dressing.

How to Thicken It

Start with no almond milk, see how you like it, then add a little bit at a time until you get the desired consistency.
