Ingredients

Instructions

  • Blend together the hemp seeds, water, garlic powder, onion powder, dried mustard, salt, vinegar, and date if using until smooth. A regular blender might take about 3 minutes. A high speed blender will be super fast.
  • Once everything is blended, add in about 1 tablespoon of the oil. Stir it in with a spoon, and then turn the blender back on and drizzle in the rest.
  • Add the parsley and dill and pulse a few times to combine. I like to make the herbs kind of small so that the uneven white of the hemp will be less apparent.
  • Use the vegan ranch dressing as is for dips, or you can thin out with a touch of filtered water to desired consistency for a salad dressing.
  • Store in the fridge.

Notes

  • For a low-carb recipe, omit the date and use a low carb sweetener instead. A pinch of stevia extract works well--or you could use whatever sweetener you like to taste or just omit the sweet ingredient entirely. I tried this recipe both with and without the date. While I preferred it with it, it was definitely not necessary. I would recommend taking it out of the blender, tasting and adding to taste stirring rather then blending in (so you won't over blend the oil or herbs). If using the date, add an extra teaspoon of water.
  • The color of the ranch will depend on the oil used, and whether or not use use the date. It will never be a pure white because of the hemp seeds.
  • For those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this qualifies as an "S."
