vegan salad dressing

Tangy and oh-so-creamy vegan ranch dressing that is easy to make at home! Soaked cashews work their magic to create the creamiest, dreamiest ranch dressing or dip that is totally plant based and dairy free.

Best Homemade Vegan Ranch

cashew

water

rice vinegar

juice from 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

salt

garlic powder

onion powder

dill OR 2-3 teaspoons dried dill*

Soak the raw cashew pieces in hot water for 5-10 minutes. I heat up water in my electric kettle and pour it over the cashews to soak.&nbsp;

Drain the cashews and add to your blender. Add the remaining ingredients except the dill, and blend until very smooth.

Now add the dill, and pulse a few times to combine. You don't want to blend the dill or it will end up very green.&nbsp;

Serve on salad or with fresh vegetables for dipping. This will keep for up to a week in the fridge. It will thicken in the fridge, just thin out with water until it reaches the consistency you prefer.&nbsp;

Drain the potatoes and rinse under cool running water.
Drain the green beans. Pat dry the potatoes and green beans.

Unseasoned Rice Vinegar

Shiro (Yellow) Miso Paste

tsp Maple Syrup

½ cup Water, plus more to taste

Add the Tahini, Rice Vinegar, Miso Paste, and Maple Syrup to a large bowl and mix to form a thick, even paste.

Slowly pour in the filtered water while you whisk the mixture. Continue to whisk until evenly incorporated, then serve as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

I plan on making this, however, I never used Tahini, is there as specific type or are they all the same? Also why filtered water? I used bottled water but is there a specific type I should be using?

Great dressing, and spread on a pizza before cooking it gives an interesting crusty cheesy note. Thanks!
