    5 Minute Vegan Ranch Dressing! This is the Best Vegan Ranch Dressing and so easy to make at home, with vegan mayonnaise and a few ingredients you have a delicious vegan salad dressing or dip, and it's ready in 5 minutes! It's creamy, tangy, dairy free and egg free!

    Only a handful of ingredients for this super simple dressing and tofu and cashews are not one of them. I find I’m partial to vegan mayonnaise (Vegenaise) for this Vegan ranch, as it has that perfect flavour and creamy texture that I was wanting for this classic recipe.

    It's a perfect dip for game day on a party platter with veggies or for any celebration or just because! My favourite way to enjoy this dip is with French fries. So GOOD! Super delicious tossed with a crisp salad too!

    Description

    5 Minute Vegan Ranch Dressing! This is the Best Vegan Ranch Dressing and so easy to make at home, with vegan mayonnaise and a few ingredients you have a delicious vegan salad dressing or dip, and it's ready in 5 minutes! It's creamy, tangy, dairy free and egg free!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup vegan mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise)
    • 2 teaspoons dried dill or 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped dill
    • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ¼-½ teaspoon seasoning salt or regular salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
    • 1 and ½ tablespoons dill pickle juice
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar


    Instructions

    1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl ( I usually use a soup bowl) and whisk until combined.
    2. Serve right away or let the dressing chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, so the flavours develop even more.
    3. Enjoy as a dip with veggies, potato chips, pizza or French fries ( my favourite?). It is also delicious as a salad dressing, and sandwich spread too!

    Notes

    • if you want it more 'dilly' and more tangy add 1 more teaspoon dried dill and another tablespoon pickle juice!
    • To use this recipe as a salad dressing, I usually add a little plant milk to thin it. Add one tablespoon at a time until your happy with the consistency.
    • I would start with ¼ teaspoon of seasoning salt or regular salt. Then taste and adjust if necessary.
    • This dressing will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
    • Prep Time: 5 minutes

      Do you know how many calories, carbs and protein are in this? I’m calorie counting and carb counting for my new diet and was wanting to make this for salads and veggie wraps.

        Hi Lindsey, yes it would work with regular mayo but I suggest you try the vegan variety. You'd be surprised, it's super tasty!

          So true, Cheeky Chickpea (about the vegan mayo). I made a sandwich for my brother and he had no idea that his mayo was vegan. It's awesome!
