Ranch Dressing

I miss ranch dressing. It has always been my topping of choice for most any sort of salad, veggies, and occasionally even chips. But, with The Bean's need to be dairy free, I have had to forgo most creamy dressings. HOWEVER, I found this dairy-free ranch dressing the other day, and modified it just a bit to suit my needs. The original recipe is here: Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing Recipe.

Here is my modified recipe:

Ingredients: 
  • 1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed (I used a bit more of this)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (I used onion flakes to give it some texture)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard  

Mix the lemon juice and the coconut milk together and let sit for 10 minutes. Then whisk in the remaining ingredients. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. If you prefer a less-thick dip, add slightly more lemon juice and coconut milk. For a soy-free dressing, use canola mayo. 

I forgot to take a picture of it. Bummer! But it. was. amazing. Especially the next day on fresh veggies. Hurray for dairy-free ranch!
