This dressing has more color than a traditional creamy white ranch recipe. I like to use fresh herbs, but feel free to substitute dried ones, reducing the measure by half. Besides as an oil-free dressing for salads, you can also use this versatile recipe as a dip served with crudités or as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1 (12 ounce) package soft silken tofu
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place the spinach in a kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess water. Place in a blender along with the tofu, vinegar, garlic powder and onion powder. Blend into a creamy paste.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the parsley, dill, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and adjust the seasoning.
  • Chill before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Looks yummy! I wonder how it'd taste with chopped fresh baby spinach instead?

This is a hearty and filling dip. It's great for sandwiches, too.
