Mock Ranch Dressing or Dip

Recipe Created By: Melanie Carver

1 cup unsweetened plain yogurt alternative (cultured soy or coconut milk) -OR-

1 cup safe mayo (egg-free, milk-free, soy-free)

1/4 cup or less plain milk alternative

1 Tbsp fresh chopped chives (optional)

1 tsp Garlic & Herb Mrs Dash®

This recipe can be used to make a mock ranch dressing or a ranch dip, depending on how much liquid you add.

“Yogurt” tends to be runnier than “mayo”, so if you are using a yogurt alternative for this base, you will need less liquid (milk alternative) for this recipe.

If you are using a safe mayo, I recommend using the reduced-calorie version because the mayo is much higher in fat than yogurt.

This recipe is very forgiving, and you can use more Mrs. Dash for flavoring if you want a stronger flavor.

Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container and it will keep for about a week.

This recipe can be made soy-free by using cultured coconut milk yogurt for the base and coconut milk or rice milk for the liquid, or by using an egg-free, soy-free mayo (Vegenaise offers an option).
