This creamy and tangy Vegan Ranch Dressing is a perfect dairy-free alternative packed with fresh herbs and smooth silken tofu. Ideal for salads, dips, or drizzling over your favorite dishes, it combines the richness of vegan mayo with the lightness of non-dairy milk and a burst of fresh dill, parsley, and chives for authentic ranch flavor without any animal products.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Vegan mayo
  • 1/2 Cup (8 oz) Silken tofu
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (oat milk recommended)

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2–3 Tablespoons Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: Add the vegan mayo, silken tofu, and unsweetened non-dairy milk to a food processor. Pulse until completely smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides to incorporate everything evenly.
  2. Add herbs and seasonings: Incorporate the fresh dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the processor. Pulse just until blended, ensuring the herbs remain visible in small flecks throughout the mixture.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed by adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
  4. Store dressing: Transfer the dressing into an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within one week for optimum freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use silken tofu for the creamiest texture; firm tofu will result in a chunkier dressing.
  • You can substitute any unsweetened plant milk such as almond, soy, or cashew milk if oat milk is unavailable.
  • The dressing thickens slightly as it chills, so give it a good stir before serving.
  • Adjust lemon juice and herbs to personalize the tanginess and herbal flavor.
  • Great as a dip for veggies or a sauce for grain bowls and sandwiches.
