Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based yogurt as the creamy base for the ranch dressing.
- Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the yogurt, which will provide a tangy flavor and help balance the creaminess.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder into the mixture, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor throughout the dressing.
- Add 1 teaspoon of onion powder to enhance the savory profile of the ranch dressing.
- Incorporate 1 teaspoon of dried dill, gently stirring to distribute the herb evenly and create a classic ranch taste.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, starting with a small pinch and adjusting according to your preference.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and well combined, ensuring no dry ingredients remain unmixed.
- Transfer the ranch dressing to an airtight container or glass jar with a lid for storage.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and dressing to chill.
- Serve chilled as a dip, salad dressing, or condiment, and enjoy within 5-7 days when stored properly in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to adjust the garlic and onion powder to suit your taste. If you love a stronger flavor, add a bit more!
- Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh dill on hand, use it instead of dried for an even more vibrant flavor. Just chop it finely and add it to the mix.
- Storage: Store your ranch dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for about 5-7 days, but trust us, it won’t last that long!
- Serving Suggestions: This dressing isn’t just for salads! Use it as a dip for veggies, a spread on sandwiches, or a drizzle over baked potatoes for an extra kick.
- Chill Time: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Allowing the dressing to chill for at least 15 minutes helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
