vegan ranch dressing

Ranch is a widely popular dressing that emerged far more recently than you might have thought. This dressing became famous in 1954 when a couple created it and served it to guests at their ranch. Nowadays, it would be pretty difficult to find someone who doesn’t like ranch dressing. It’s a popular flavour for chips. We dip our pizzas in it. And it’s delicious with just about any raw vegetable.

It is definitely a staple dip that’s on par with mayonnaise and barbecue. But like mayonnaise, it’s usually not vegan-friendly. Luckily, with the increasing awareness of ethical food consumption, many have created their own versions of vegan-friendly sauces and dips. Vegan ranch dressing is surprisingly easy to make, and also super delicious. Even if you’re not vegan, we have a feeling you might prefer this version over the traditional one.
