Top Tips for Making Vegan Ranch Dressing

  • I designed this recipe around pumpkin seeds, but I have since made it with sunflower seeds and a blend of the two – it all works!

  • If you want an even thicker and creamier ranch dressing, I advise using coconut cream in place of milk.

  • In a pinch, dried mint or parsley can be used in place of fresh – use 1/2 teaspoon instead.

  • Fresh dill can be used in place of dried – use 2 tablespoons minced instead.

  • Do you want a spicy vegan ranch dressing recipe? Add a pinch of cayenne or red chili flakes.

  • One fun variation of this recipe we enjoy is making it into a vegan chipotle ranch dressing by omitting the dill and adding 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder instead.

  • The salt content can vary greatly with salted seeds, so if using them, I advise blending, tasting and adding a touch of salt only if needed before blending again.

  • If your blender or food processor is less than ideal when it comes to blending thing smoothly, simply combine the ingredients and let them soak at least an hour before blending to ensure a smoother dressing!

  • This dressing stores well in airtight containers or jars in the refrigerator for up to one week.
