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?

Cashews gotta be soaked though to get rid of the enzyme inhibitors.

I love this recipe too!! I've made it about 5 times now! My husband and I grew up on ranch dressing. We smeared it on everything! Now that we are dairy and gluten free we were missing it and didn't even know it. Tonight I made it to put on kale that I'll be dehydrating. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Thanks so much!

Help! I made this recipe last night and tried to make 7 times the recipe and it is just not good. Tastes nothing like ranch. Wondering how I can tweet it today?

Also mine is not creamy. Will work blending it more today. Tastes sweet and too much dill I think. Any suggestions on how I can make it creamier? Hate to give up. I am a vegan.

I am also vegan & whenever my cashew based sauces/dips don't come out as creamy as I'd like them to due to my low-quality blender, I blend 1st and then transfer to a tall glass or container and puree with a hand blender. Beautiful, creamy results everytime :)

Hi Deborah, that is unusual. Is your blender very strong? I'm thinking maybe it isn't but it's hard to say. HOWEVER, you can certainly try soaking the cashews next time for a better result.

Hi Alli, I too was a Ranch nut. Your ranch kale chips are going to be TASTY!

This is a fabulous recipe. My Kids usually run when I mention RAW but they tried it and couldn't believe how good it was. We dipped fresh broccoli spears, celery, purple carrots and spring onions (lightly covered in celtic sea salt) into it and it was sensational.
I skipped on the dill and the sweetener and used slightly less water, 5 tablespoons of lemon, 3 large cloves garlic and half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
Thank you Rawtarian :)

Hi Blackie, you paired it with the perfect veggies too! I usually am not a huge broc fan but this recipe just goes really well with broc for some reason.
If your little ones tend to run for the hills maybe you need to reverse-psychology them - "nope, nope, this recipe isn't raw. no sirree bob!"

WOW! This was my first raw condiment recipe and I was pretty skeptical...I love ranch...it's my weakness. First batch...amazing! My husband loved it too! I like A LOT of flavor so I tweaked the recipe a little. More garlic, more herbs, tons of fresh cracked black pepper, waaaay less honey and 1/2 the ACV. I've already told my friends about the site. YOU ROCK!! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness, delicious. I don't usually have dressings as they are full of preservatives and other yucky things! The test was husband and kids......PASSED! Would love to know how long it lasts as the recipe makes a large amount. :)
