Ranch is one of the most popular and delicious dressings and after so many requests to make a clean and easy version, it’s finally here! So many store bought dressings are filled with all kinds of added sugars, additives, gums, and fillers so making your own allows you to know exactly what is in it. This recipe takes no more than 10 minutes to make and you can store it in your fridge for up to two weeks! You can even keep it thicker as a dip.
For this recipe, you will need:
Cashews: these need to be soaked in hot water first
Apple Cider Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Salt
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Parsley: You can use fresh or dried parsley
Dill: I recommend using fresh dill
Tips:
- The recipe will be thicker so more of a dip or sauce consistency. If you want it to be a thinner dressing, just add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it’s the consistency you want
How to Store:
- Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks
