Eggless Carrot Ranch Dressing is Vegan, Gluten-free, and Oil-Free.
I am excited to share a refreshingly simple and unique recipe you cannot find anywhere. It is Eggless carrot ranch dressing with a full serving of carrots! What’s so exciting about the ranch, you may think. But before you go down that thought, let me just remind you that store-bought versions of ranch not only add tons of calories, they are made from buttermilk and on some occasions they also have eggs. That’s just not healthy for you or for the planet!
Most of my friends were brought up eating bottled salad dressing. It’s just one of those convenience foods that we buy without putting much thought into it. So, when they decide to go vegan, they often find it difficult to find an able replacement for a ranch. Not anymore. Here’s a healthier AND cheaper version.
Typically, ranch dressing is a combination of buttermilk, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs, and spices. Today, I am sharing a creamy version of a vegan ranch with steamed carrots and cashews. Not to mention, there is a mixture of spices and nutritional yeast that make it taste heavenly.
Almond milk and cashews take the place of buttermilk and they taste even better than any store-bought version. Notice that I mentioned steamed carrots and not raw carrots. Raw carrots do not give the texture you would expect in ranch dressing.
If you are familiar with ranch, you know that the uses for ranch are just endless. Use them on sandwiches, salads, and even tortillas. I am going to share another exciting recipe with my eggless ranch dressing with carrots. So, you have got to try this recipe today to have it handy for the next recipe 😉
