This Vegan Yogurt Ranch Dressing is a lightened up version of the classic. Use it on salads, with veggies, on pizza...anywhere you would use ranch!
If you have been around TSV for a while then you know vegan ranch is one of my favorite condiments. Sometimes I make it from scratch, sometimes I buy it pre-made. But I could literally put it on everything. So having this lightened up version makes eating ranch guilt-free, but still tasty!
How to make Vegan Yogurt Ranch Dressing
Making this dressing is beyond easy. The first thing you need to do is make some vegan buttermilk. Don't worry, it is super simple. Just combine some non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes and that's it. The vinegar will curdle the milk and make the closest thing to buttermilk you can get.
Once the buttermilk is ready, add the rest of the ingredients and give it a stir. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more garlic powder or lemon juice. Play around with it, until you get the perfect flavor for you.
Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will allow it to chill and thicken!
How to serve Vegan Yogurt Ranch Dressing
Now that your lightened up vegan ranch is ready. Let's talk about what to serve it with! You could serve it with Roasted Cauliflower Buffalo Pizza or BBQ Tempeh Tacos or Avocado Egg Rolls.
You could also serve this with veggies as a quick dip or over a simple green salad. There are so many options when it comes to serving this dressing up! I also have a new recipe coming out tomorrow that you can use it with...

This is a very good ranch dressing. I was looking for something without vegan mayo or cashews and this recipe does not disappoint. Thank you.

Can I use the whey of yogurt to make the dressing you have above? Will the spices
kill the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt whey?
