Dairy Free Ranch Dressing

If you ask me, there is nothing more Midwest that ranch dressing…even if the birthplace of this favored veggie dip was actually Alaska. I ask many of my clients to eliminate dairy from their diets for a period of time, if not indefinitely. Dairy is a common allergen and an inflammatory food, wrecking havoc on immune and digestive systems. I’ve heard on more than one occasion that the dairy item most missed is ranch dressing, so I am happy to finally provide a whole food, dairy-free version* of this beloved item with a cobb salad version that is a perfect match.
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked in water overnight
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp honey or agave syrup
  • 1 Tbsp Penzey’s ranch dressing spice mix**
  • 1 tsp herbamare or ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
 
Directions
  1. Put all the ingredients in a high-powered blender. Blend until very smooth and creamy.
