Tangy, creamy ranch dressing that’s as healthful as it is delicious—this versatile sauce is a dream come true. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, like Vitamix brand, be sure to soak the cashews in cold water for at least 2 hours before making this dressing.

Very good recipe, I made it as written and it was good. I added dried minced onion and swapped out the water for almond milk and it turned out great

This was shockingly good! It has a creamy texture and a Midwestern “taco dip” taste. Color me pleased.
