The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Don't believe me that this could taste as good as old-school SAD (standard American diet) ranch? Just try it. I dare ya :)
Raw ranch dressing is another one of those things that I cannot believe it's possible to replicate raw. But, hallelujah, it is possible.
There is nothing like a nice fresh carrot dipped in raw ranch dressing, no?
And I have even had the pleasure of dipping my raw vegan pizza in raw ranch dressing. "Cue heavenly harp sound...."
So here's my favourite raw ranch dressing recipe for you... I use it basically like a normal salad dressing or dip. I usually make one batch and serve it as a vegetable dip, salad dressing and maybe even on a few more exciting things, like in a raw vegan BLT sandwich or dip raw pizza in it if I am feeling particularly daring.
Of course, you also know that the best vegetables to dip in raw ranch dressing are carrots and broccolli, right?

I think I finally did it right. I needed fresh dill. The other times I made it it tasted like a garlic dressing, not that I didn't like it, but it wasn't ranch dressing. I added a tad more dill and only one garlic clove I also used half the amount of apple cider vinegar like you suggested. I think I may be back into salads on a more regular basis again. Thank you so much.

Hi Shenica, that sounds like success to me! Love the smell of fresh dill wafting in the kitchen :)

I LOVE this recipe, it's one of the staples in my diet! Today I had some avacado that were not going to last another day, so I subbed one for the cashews, halved the rest of the ingredients and used water to my liking, and it was great!!!! A great idea for those who can't use nuts :-)
Keep up the great work,
Stephanie
Ps, it was a light green color though, but that doesn't bother me!

Hi Stephanie, great suggestion and thanks for sharing it with us! And with a light green color you could give it a fun name, like lizard dressing lol

I dont know how much vinegar I used I started with half and added more to taste and used the dry dill. It was amazing. Love it and so do the guys at work.
I had it with a mix of raw veg and apple. I used carrot capsicum celery kale brussel sprouts radicchio beans snow peas sugar snap peas cucumber cherry tomatoes coliflower broccoli.
What else can I eat raw in veg?

Fresh or dried dill?
The Rawtarian
Jun 16, 2013
Fresh is ideal, but in this recipe I simply use dried.
(If using fresh, double the amount called for since fresh takes more volume than dried due to the moisture having been removed)

I put a green onion(scallion) in it as I don't have onion powder. I used a little less water because I like it thick. I used all the vinegar. DH and I love it.

I just made this and it is amazing!! I don't care for ACV, but know it is important for it to taste correct so I cut it to 1 TBS and added 1tsp of pepper. Wonderful!!!!! Just what I have been looking for. My husband and I went fully raw 2 months ago and our youngest daughter (9) is 90% raw, but my other daughter (18) wont eat anything in the fruit, veggie, nut and seed category, she is such a rebel lol. I am happy to report she told me she will be having a big salad with us for dinner if I use this dressing on it! Thank you so very much! I have been using many of your wonderful recipes and it has made it easy for us to get our life back!!! PS along with a LONG list of other disease and ailments we are both no longer considered diabetic!!!! Hugs!

Are you suppose to soak the cashews, or just throw in dry?

Curious about your recipes that do not require sugar or sweeteners. Thanks for your recipes.

Hi Leigh! Great question. I don't have a category for that, BUT you can use my super duper ingredient search.
You can do a detailed ingredient search on my website in a hard-to-find spot: use the search at the top (search for something, like dates), then click on the fork and knife icon beside the search box, then click the "more options" and there you can specify recipe ingredients. Or specify ingredients that you don't want!
