I made this last night and to be frank, I wasnt head over heals about it; BUT today. holy cow!!! I didnt realize how long ittakes for the raw herbs to really add to the overall dressing. My aapologies for doubting you. Excellent and by far and a way has added salads back into my life.
Omg! I love it, love it, love it and love you too. So so delicious, I’m vegetarian, don’t eat eggs and I could not find dressing without eggs and I love salad. So now MORE salad added in my life! Thanks a million my sis! ❤❤❤❤
My vegan ranch dressing my friend gave me. 1/2 cup hemp hearts hulled no need to soak,1/3 cup water( more if needed), juice of 1 medium lemon, 1/4 tsp garlic powder n onion powder n mineral salt, few strands of chives broken up, few sprigs fresh dill, few sprig tops of cilantro n or parsley.. in blender (double if using regular blender, combine everything blend until smooth, add more hemp if too thin, if too thick add more water n boom vegan ranch dressing. Delicious🍒
Does anyone know if I can eat as much as I want of this dressing with my massive salad (I used the white beans option instead of tofu). Btw, I’m on McDougall’s Massive Wt Loss program. Thanks.
Just ordered Stardust (and a bunch of other yummy stuff!) and I cant wait to make your version of Ranch because my attempt was a lot of work and ingredients and blah 😅 Thank you so much for posting a simple video, recipe and information links for all the products.
@@linnlee8110 You are welcome. Just remember the Ranch dressing is best after it has chilled in the fridge for several hours. The flavors need time to develop and then wow it’s amazing!
I made this with butter beans and frozen dill and parsley,black chia. My husband doesn’t like apple cider vinegar.I used lime juice. I don’t know if I can find white chia seeds here. I used oat milk from Costco. We love it. Thanks Tammy this is a winner.
WOW - a year?? That means a whole lot of taste testing went on during this process. Thank you so much. I've tried a few vegan Ranch dressings and they are okay, but I always felt like something was missing. I made some Zucchini Fritters from another channel and served with 3 different options: ranch, tzatziki and ketchup. We ended up going for the tzatziki because it was the most flavorful. But I really wanted the ranch to be the star. I can't wait to try this recipe. Again, thank you.
I sure hope you like this vegan ranch dressing! I was nervous about sharing it because I know expectations are high fir a really good tasting vegan ranch dressing. Let me know what you think.
Tammy: this ranch dressing is KILLER! I have to keep making it because it is gone in a few days. We use it on veggie wraps and it really enhances the flavor of the veggies. Between this recipe and your salad dressing (the one with the beans, dates and balsamic), I am all set! You have helped me so much with my WFPB eating - these dressings have made my food so much tastier! Thanks so much!!👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼💪🏼🤩🤩😘😘🥬🥦🥔🍆🍌🍏🥒🌶🍠
I need to try this. Btw I have kept medjool dates in the fridge for well over a year and they never go bad or dry out, the are just soft and juicy as new ones.
I love ranch dressing and really miss it. I just made this today and it's awesome! I love your channel. Great recipes and great presentation. Thank you!
Thank you for this recipe. I appreciate that you devoted so much of your time into testing this recipe. I will try it out as soon as I gather all of the ingredients.
Been wanting to make thia since I saw your video. I didn't have fresh dill or white chia seeds...only black. But it's great even not so white! I can't wait until it thickens! Thank you!!!!!
@@jacquelineclowes8221 I do not use substitute anything also do not even know what 'star dust' is and is not a product I have ever seen in my local supermarket and even so if I was going to use a 'salt' substitute I would use kelp which is a food not a substitute. Also even if I was thinking of purchasing a product I read labels on everything so would not buy it. FYI
@@paperprincess1050 I was simply referring to her mentioning that she uses a salt substitute, Star Dust, which has nutritional yeast in it. No offense intended. Just info. 😀
@@NutmegNotebook My favorite has got to be - tofu/almond milk/nooch/nutmeg/white pepper, for macaroni and cheeze. With broccoli served as a casserole? OMG.
I need to get all the fresh herbs. I hope I can find them all. As soon as I do, I’m going to make this. Sounds awesome. Thanks for the recipe, Tami. And thanks for the hard work of figuring what works best.
Looking forward to trying this recipe with so many great comments! Thank you for posting! I need to ask if there are any suggestions for an alternative to the oat product(s) in this recipe? I am so disappointed not to be able to digest oats, alongside gluten and nuts. Thank you so much to all of you for your help with this! ❤
Oh my goodness! I just made this dressing and I LOVE it!!!!! Please tell me how long it will last in the refrigerator? Do you have anymore oil free nut free dressing recipes? I love you for this, THANK YOU!
I am so glad you like it! How long it will last depends on many things but about 5 days I would say. Some people freeze some of it and thaw it out when they need more. I do have more nut free dressing recipes on my blog. Just Google Nutmeg Notebook Salad Dressings.
I was really craving pizza and I made one by using millet flour and white flour. I used tomato sauce and eggplant as a topping. I didn't feel like making a vegan cheese and then I remembered that I still had some of your ranch dressing in the fridge. I've poured some on the pizza after taking it out of the oven and it was so good! :D
There are some very good vegan salad dressings out there you can buy these days that are very low fat or no fat and they are much tastier then the ones I have tried before from recipes off TH-cam. I use very little oil in my cooking, I am whole food plant based and in my 70es.
I am very happy I found your channel, I have been trying to find a super good ranch dressing and have tried at least 4 different recipes, and in spite of the wonderful host's intentions, none came close. If I can get really close to it, I am sure I will love it! I think the difference will be the lack of nuts and the type of tofu you are using. I've had that tofu before and it is very smooth and quite delicious. Looking forward to trying it! I am glad you reminded us about Dillon's shop, I've been meaning to go there too. Thanks so much for sharing! Glad I found you! 😊👍
I just wished the shipping cost wasn’t so much.. I was going to buy Stardust to try but shipping was almost the same price as the seasoning.. I was so disappointed as I was looking forward to trying it. It would be nice if they had samples to share like table tasty does. $2 for a sample and no shipping cause they send it in a regular envelope. Table tasty is good but I really wanted to try stardust to see which one I like best.
Ymmm....this the ranch dressing that Tom devours pronto and keeps ya busy making more dear Tami?!! 🤣😂Thanks for sharing, 👍 and greetings to Tom and you from Querétaro, Mexico! 😄
Wow!! That dressing looks amazing! Thank you for all your hard work creating the right balance of ingredients to make an amazing ranch dressing. I appreciate the amount of work you put into it! I can’t wait to try it. I also appreciate the way you explained it so clearly. Thank you!!!!
I can't wait to try this! The health benefits of tofu are so many! Have to first order two of the ingredients online. Do you know if the dressing can be divided into smaller portions and frozen? 😊
This looks so good. I miss Ranch dressing. I am not a fond lover of tofu, but want to try because I think with all those wonderful herbs, it will disguise the flavor of the tofu a bit. I would use it all the ways you suggested...even veggie burgers as a "mayo" substitute but better! Need to run to the store to purchase the ingredients. Will be doing that Monday probably. Thanks Tami!
Oh my that looks so yummy you should make it and sell it in jars cuz I would definitely buy it from you. I went plant-based for health reasons so I do not do oil or butter and it's been very very hard to try to find anything with no oil and no butter and it's just not possible so I have to compromise with other things.
Oh my goodness - I finally got around to trying your Ranch dressing. I've been using balsamic vinegar to dress my salads, so I hadn't needed anything else. I didn't have Oat Milk, and thought I could substitute Almond Milk instead. But I was wrong on that. The Almond taste was overpowering, even with all the spices and herbs. Knowing I wasn't crazy with the nutritional yeast flavor. I think I'll leave it out next time. Also, next time, I will definitely make it with Oat Milk.However, It was very creamy and smooth, and not unpleasant. But like I said, the Almond flavor was just too strong.
I love Ranch dressing! Unfortunately, I live in Tanzania, East Africa. We don't have tofu, yogurt, plant milks, Costco, Sam's or Walmart. Everything is grown right here in our little farming community. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. Love your channel.
Can you get nuts of any kind? If you can get cashews or almonds you can make your own plant milk or make rice milk or oat milk. you can find recipes or instructions on line. Use raw cashews or almonds with no skins in place of tofu in this recipe. You might do an internet search for vegan ranch dressing and find some recipes using ingredients that are available where you live. Hope this helps.
Gosh, soy as tofu actually does raise my estrogen levels . It maybe bc I’ve eaten raw, no processed, for 16 years . But 2 years ago I added tofu in for salad dressing base and first time since being vegan, over 30 years vegan, I got pms symptoms . I removed the tofu after a year of it and pms stopped. ☹️I’d love to get to use tofu again!
@@Adelicows maybe one day I’ll be brave and try it again but all I know is those symptoms came on after awhile of eating tofu daily & went away when I cut out the tofu. Maybe it’s the highly processed soy that’s a problem 🤷🏻♀️
@@Alykat736 It may or may not be the highly processed stuff. But either way that other person is actually incorrect; soy CAN in fact affect someone's hormones, especially if its highly processed, but it doesn't affect most people. It simply depends on the individual. Never let someone else limit your thinking!
I tried the recipe using extra firm tofu and no salt. It came out really smooth but I think a salt free substitute would have made a difference in the taste. It was bland and a bit on the slightly sweet side. I couldn't even taste the vinegar.
Tammi, you look even thinner! I put back on like 20 pounds with Covid. Over eating plant based due to anxiety. Things just keep getting worse and I keep eating, ugh.
🤔 If I can’t find white chia seeds (I’ve never seen them in the stores I go to), would hemp seeds be a good replacement without ruining the flavor profile?
It would if that’s what you want to do but then the dressing will turn green. I just pulse the herbs a little because I want the dressing to be white with green specks of fresh herbs. If you don’t mind it being a green color that’s great! 🌱
It seems like certain foods can cause it to be cloudy. I think If you blend a lot of hard items like nuts or grains that can cause it to turn cloudy. I wash mine with hot water and dish soap - that’s it.
This looks wonderful! Thank you. I'm wondering if we can just put oats instead of the powder, as the vitamix will pulverize it. Also, do you think it might work to use lemon instead of the ACV? Thank you again!
I would use plant milk rather than rolled oats. I tried it with lemon juice but preferred it with apple cider vinegar. The version I shared is my favorite combination after trying it a dozen ways. Feel free to try substitutions and tweak to your personal preferences! ♥️
This link is the exact model that we have. Please note that this link is for a "Renewed" unit. amzn.to/3jxxvKc However....This fancier Ascent model is on sale right now for even less $$$ - amzn.to/3t6ryqO
@@NutmegNotebook Thank You Tammy - so much. 3 nights in a row with the dressing and only my way into the kitchen to make more. You were right! We both want more salad because of the dressing! Big Hug...
That makes me so happy Jane! I am glad you like it so much. I was so worried about sharing the recipe as I knew expectations were going to be high for a vegan ranch dressing. I am so pleased that people are indeed enjoying it as much as we do.
Just one more thing - I actually try every vegan ranch recipe I've seen, probably 4, and this one is still the one I prefer by far! I wouldn't be surprised if this is true for some others.
It is much better after sitting in the fridge over night. That allows the fresh herbs time to infuse their flavor through out the dressing. I like it as is - you will need to make adjustments that suit your taste buds - we all have different taste preferences and I don't know what you are missing from it. Is it sodium, garlic, dill , vinegar? Think about which flavor you would like to have be stronger and go from there.
The silken tofu comes in 12 ounce containers and it’s very soft making it perfect for dressings. If you found a 16 ounce container recipe of soft silken tofu just use 12 ounces otherwise all of the portions of the other ingredients will be off and you won’t have the right balance of flavors. It won’t be as flavorful.

Make today the day you eat lean and clean!
How long does it stay safe to eat after refrigerating? Anyone know? Thank you!
That is so variable depending on your fridge and so many other factors. It is good for about 5 days if kept in the coldest part of our fridge.
Will try this because dressing is so expensive and high in calories and fat.
It’s so easy to make and affordable too!
🤔 If I can’t find white chia seeds (I’ve never seen them in the stores I go to), would hemp seeds be a good replacement without ruining the flavor profile?
I think hemp seeds will be fine. 🙂
Wouldn't the powerful Vitamix significantly blend the dill stems enough to be able to use those stems?
It would if that’s what you want to do but then the dressing will turn green. I just pulse the herbs a little because I want the dressing to be white with green specks of fresh herbs. If you don’t mind it being a green color that’s great! 🌱

Definetly I will give it a try… quick question, how do you keep so clean your blender? Mine, even if I wash it right away, it is still “cloudy”
It seems like certain foods can cause it to be cloudy. I think If you blend a lot of hard items like nuts or grains that can cause it to turn cloudy. I wash mine with hot water and dish soap - that’s it.
Note: The Galaxy Stardust by Well Your World does contain nutritional yeast.
Galaxy dust doesn’t. And it’s a hit with the family.
That’s true thank you for pointing that out - the new galaxy one is nooch free!
What can you put instead of Stardust ? I live in Canada and can’t get it here ! 😢
Would homemade hemp milk be an okay substitute?
This seems to make a lot of dressing. As a single, how long can I expect it to last in the fridge?
You can freeze it in single servings and thaw it out when you want to have it.
Can you put a little mustard with the dressing
This looks wonderful! Thank you. I'm wondering if we can just put oats instead of the powder, as the vitamix will pulverize it. Also, do you think it might work to use lemon instead of the ACV? Thank you again!
I would use plant milk rather than rolled oats. I tried it with lemon juice but preferred it with apple cider vinegar. The version I shared is my favorite combination after trying it a dozen ways. Feel free to try substitutions and tweak to your personal preferences! ♥️
@@NutmegNotebook Ok thank you so much for the reply. I appreciate it.
Did you try it using Table Tasty salt substitute? Will it work or will it change the flavor too much?
It would be fine!
I use the silken tofu too to make my vegan dressings. Btw, why not soak the chia seeds before adding them?
I would have to plan in advance! 😂
@@NutmegNotebook I know the feeling . 😊
I'm wondering what model Vitamix you have? It just looks so different from any on their Website. I like it. Thx and making this dressing tonight!
We've had this dressing 2 nights in a row and it is really delicious! Also - what Vitamix is in the video for this recipe? Can't find it anywhere.
This link is the exact model that we have. Please note that this link is for a "Renewed" unit. amzn.to/3jxxvKc However....This fancier Ascent model is on sale right now for even less $$$ - amzn.to/3t6ryqO
@@NutmegNotebook Thank You Tammy - so much. 3 nights in a row with the dressing and only my way into the kitchen to make more. You were right! We both want more salad because of the dressing! Big Hug...
That makes me so happy Jane! I am glad you like it so much. I was so worried about sharing the recipe as I knew expectations were going to be high for a vegan ranch dressing. I am so pleased that people are indeed enjoying it as much as we do.
Just one more thing - I actually try every vegan ranch recipe I've seen, probably 4, and this one is still
the one I prefer by far! I wouldn't be surprised if this is true for some others.
Have you made a sos free poppyseed dressing?
No I have not made a poppyseed dressing.
Tammy how can I add a little kick this. I just made it but may be a little bland for me. “
It is much better after sitting in the fridge over night. That allows the fresh herbs time to infuse their flavor through out the dressing. I like it as is - you will need to make adjustments that suit your taste buds - we all have different taste preferences and I don't know what you are missing from it. Is it sodium, garlic, dill , vinegar? Think about which flavor you would like to have be stronger and go from there.
I couldn’t find 12oz tofu. Can I use 16oz? And would I need more plant milk?
The silken tofu comes in 12 ounce containers and it’s very soft making it perfect for dressings. If you found a 16 ounce container recipe of soft silken tofu just use 12 ounces otherwise all of the portions of the other ingredients will be off and you won’t have the right balance of flavors. It won’t be as flavorful.
Anyone have this typed out so I can just do screen grab and keep the recipe to refer back to later?
Thanks 👍

What vitamix model do you have?
i watched it all,but you never said how long it lasts in the fridge?
We have it last for 4-5 days. It can be frozen too.
@@NutmegNotebook great to know thank you,i'm not plant based but want to try and cut as much fats and such as I can and id like to try this. Is there any substitute for the silken soy i can use?
You can use regular tofu or try a cup of cashews.
what about for people who are allergic to soy and can't do the tofu?
Try subbing white beans - 1 can or box, drained and rinsed.
@@NutmegNotebook Thanks!
