5-Minute Ranch Dressing



How to make without measurements:
- The base I like to use is soaked, raw cashews, zucchini, and peas. However, you could easily use a different nut or seed like hemp seeds, or no nuts at all and just use the veggies as the base. This is provides that much-desired creamy vessel for those seasonings to shine.
- Add your combo to your blender and then the seasonings of lemon and/or raw apple cider vinegar, fresh or dried parsley and dill, fresh onion or onion powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt or dulse, and pepper.
- Start small with each amount and then add just enough water to start blending. Add water while it blends until you reach desired thinness. If you’re making as a dip you will want to use less water.
- Taste and add more seasonings if desired.

- 1/4 - 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 30 minutes if desired
- 1/4 - 1/2 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup peas, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 - 1 lemon, peeled or juiced
- Raw onion or onion powder, to taste
- Splash raw apple cider vinegar
- Bunch fresh parsley
- Fresh or dried dill, to taste
- Ground cumin, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Pinch dulse flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
-
Add the base of soaked, raw cashews, zucchini, and peas, which provides that creaminess, to a high-speed blender. These are just reference points so feel free to do less or more of any, or replace one of them with more of the other.
-
Put the remaining ingredients in, starting with a lesser amount if unsure. Try about 1 teaspoon each of the dried seasonings knowing you can always add more after blending and tasting.
-
Add just enough water to start blending. Blend on high, adding water while it blends until you reach desired thinness. If you're making as a dip you will want to use less water.
-
Taste and blend in more of any of the seasonings if desired.
This easily stores in the fridge for several days, so make in a large amount and use throughout your week, or whip it up in 5-minutes flat.
This will thicken as it sits, especially if it sits overnight so you may have to add a splash of water the next day(s) if you make extra.
