This dairy-free ranch dressing is made with hemp seeds, which add a delicious creamy texture to this super flavourful dressing — make it a bit thicker and it also makes for a great dip for crudités.
Prepare and measure out all of the ingredients.
*Note: The amount of Dijon will depend on your personal preference, and also how strong your mustard is. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more as desired.
**Note: For the water, the amount will depend on whether or not you plan to use this as a dressing or a dip and of course on your personal preference. Using non-dairy milk will just give the dressing a tiny bit of a creamy taste. Although it is still really good with just water.
To make the dressing, place the hemp seeds, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, Worchestershire, agave, a good pinch of salt and pepper and a 1/2 cup of water (or non-dairy milk) into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Check the consistency, adding more water, a bit at a time, as needed.
Once done, pour the dressing into a bowl and add the green onions, fresh dill and stir to combine.
Lastly, taste for seasoning, adding more Dijon, lemon juice and/or salt and pepper, as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This dressing will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.
For the bowl (in image above), we tossed some hearty lettuce (kale, radicchio, endive and green leaf) with some of the dressing. We then topped the salad with some steamed broccoli and a few pieces of roasted baby sweet potatoes and then we finished the bowl off with a few more teaspoons of the dressing as well as a bit of additional seasoning.
