Dairy Free Ranch Dressing

I'm tempted to write "OMG, this is good dressing", but this is not a text message. So I'll leave the "OMG"s out of it.
I based this in on several different ranch dressing recipes that I found on-line, combining all the ingredients that I thought sounded good, then healthifying the whole thing. Whoever had the cayenne in their recipe, thank you VERY much for making this what it is today. It's the subtle (and it is in no way over-powering) spice that brings this to a whole new level.
Slather it on your salad, dip veggies or oven-baked french fries in it, or use it instead of mayo to make a sandwich. If you're looking to reduce or eliminate dairy, this dressing could seriously be a turning point for you. Really.
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: None
Yield: About 1-¼ Cups
Ingredients:
½ Cup Soft or Silken Tofu
¼ Cup Unsweetened Soy Milk
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tsp Dried Parsley or 1 Tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
½ Tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp Sea Salt
2 Tbsp Chives, snipped into small pieces
1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Small Garlic Clove, finely minced or pressed
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.









Do you know how long this will last in the fridge before going bad?

i do not! i swear i meant to leave a little around to figure that out (because i am in love with this stuff and want to make a bigger batch next time), but we finished it with some perogies. i will, within the next few weeks, be making more and trying it out. for now, atleast three days and just restir every time you use it.

that sounds great! i love creamy dressings because sometimes they help make salads more satisfying as meal. also I've started using a pinch of cayenne here and there in recipes and am surprised how much I like it. it's probably good for you to, like clearing sinuses or something!
