Even though I have a few vegan ranch dressings on the blog, I thought I'd make one that is a bit healthier and made with pantry staples.

My Vegan Ranch Dressing, as well as my Chipotle Ranch and Buffalo Ranch are made with vegan mayo and vegan sour cream. This time I used hemp hearts to achieve the same creaminess that the vegan mayo and vegan sour cream impart.

I used pantry staples instead of fresh herbs because there are times that I want a dressing NOW and don't want to go shopping. Not to mention, you have to be organized and plan other recipes to use the herbs in before they go to waste.

Maybe someday I'll grow all of my own herbs so that I don't have that problem...

This easy dressing is a healthy addition to a salad or crudités platter. It is low-carb, so it is perfect for a vegan keto diet or Buffalo Tofu Salad.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

It is made with pantry staples in minutes.
It is vegan, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.
It is really versatile. Serve it with veggies, chips, a sandwich, or a salad.

🧾 Ingredients

Soy milk: I used unsweetened soy milk because I like to control the amount of sweetener. Use any dairy-free milk.
Hemp hearts: Add creamy texture.
Dried parsley, dill, onion powder, and garlic powder: Add the ranch flavor. I used dried, but you could also use fresh herbs. If you use fresh, you'll need about 3x the amount listed. The dried ranch mix also tastes great on my Ranch Kale Chips recipe and Roasted Ranch Chickpeas recipe.
Nutritional yeast: Adds a cheesy flavor. You could also use vegan Parmesan cheese.
Paprika: Adds a smoky flavor.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds a tangy flavor.
Salt and black pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
