Toss this vegan ranch dressing with greens or into a Buddha bowl, or serve it as a dip with crudites and other finger foods, such as our Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites.

Note: Fresh herbs give the dressing authentic flavor, but you can certainly use dried herbs in their place. No silken tofu? You can substitute one 15-oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, plus ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored plant milk for the tofu.
