Recipe
Easy Vegan Ranch Dip
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan mayo, homemade or store-bought
- 1-3 Tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ to ⅓ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients, except the milk, to a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together until everything is fully combined.
- If your dip is too thick, whisk in 1 Tablespoon of milk or more to reach your desired consistency. The dip should be thick enough to scoop onto a celery stick or chip without dripping off.
- Chill the ranch dip in the fridge for 1-2 hours. The dip may thicken up after chilling, add more milk as needed.
- Mix before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Turn this dip into vegan ranch dressing by adding enough non-dairy milk to thin it out. The dressing should be thin enough to pour off of a spoon easily.
- If the ranch needs more flavor but has enough salt and lemon juice, add about ⅛-1/4 teaspoon agave nectar or maple syrup. A small amount of sweetener will bring the flavors together.
