• 1 teaspoon Dried chives
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes or until softened. Drain the cashews and rinse under cold water.

Step 4

Slowly add the unsweetened almond milk, blending in between, until you reach the desired consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a tangier ranch, add more lemon juice or apple cider vinegar by the teaspoon.

Transfer the vegan ranch dipping sauce to a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve as a dip with vegetables, chips, or use as a dressing for salads and wraps. Enjoy!
