Vegan Avocado Ranch Dressing
Creamy from the avocados, tangy from the lemon & apple cider vinegar, and herby from the dill. Every component that should be in a sauce, like this... My family's and I favorite sauce to top off with our salads. Eat with anything really!
Equipment
- high speed blender (bullet)
- measuring cups & spoons
- cutting board
- spoon
Ingredients
Produce
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon or 3 tbsp. bottled lemon juice
- 1 avocado
- 1.5 tbsp. dill
Liquid
- 1.5 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
Seasonings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- This step is optional, but recommended. Grab a small baking pan and bake the unpeeled garlic cloves for about 10 minutes @ 400 degrees Fahrenheit in a mini or standard oven. I didn't use oil but go ahead (it will effect the kcal).
- In a high speed blender (I used Ninja bullet), add in all of the ingredients into the blender. Blend for 1 minute or until smooth. That's it enjoy!
Notes
- There are about 17 tablespoons in 1 & 1/3 cup. 1 tablespoon is about 40 calories. Avocado is high in fat and makes it a high calorie sauce.
- Nutrition Facts for 1 & 1/3 cup: Calories kcal: 687 Protein: 26g
- Feel free to add fresh parsley if you have it on hand!
- Baking the garlic is optional.
- I had cucumber and cilantro on hand and didn't want to waste it. I tried it before putting it in which was still really delicious. The cucumber and cilantro was a great addition to the dressing! Feel free to add any other ingredients if you think it will work nicely together!
