5 from 2 votes

Making a vegan ranch from scratch is so easy (everything goes in the blender!), healthier and so much more flavorful than a store bought one. The combination of avocados and cashews makes this dressing so rich and creamy!

Notes

If possible, make the dressing ahead. The flavors will intensify over time.
Store in a air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also use fresh herbs if you prefer. This would turn your dressing greener and might change the flavor profile slightly, but will remain delicious: start by using 1 tbsp of the fresh herbs (instead of 1 tsp of the dried), blend and taste. Work your way up until you get the flavor you want. And don't forget that the flavor will intensify while resting in the fridge.
