A Journey into Thought & Spirit

How to Make Vegan Cashew Ranch Dressing

Ranch. What do I think of ranch? I have this quirk about me. I really dislike savory white creamy things. Growing up, I despised anything and everything creamy and white - mayo, cottage cheese, dressing, cream cheese, sour cream - basically anything dairy (unless it was ice cream or whipped cream). 
Picture
That same dislike even flowed over into my vegan life, but luckily I am lightening up to it because I know what I make is powered by nature. And if real ranch tastes as good as the cashew stuff, now I see why many of my clients find it difficult to switch to other dressings. 

I made this dressing for my recent, Raw Collard Greens Rainbow Wrap + Cashew Ranch Dressing
blog post. I chose a white-colored dip to balance out the power of the color, and since the tulips inspired this recipe, white is a part of our natural world. It's the color of purity and spirituality.

Between the tulips and the chives I found at the local U-District Farmer's Market, I knew cashew and chives would be a part of my recipe. And well, this spring I am trying new things, and ranch made the list. Pleasantly surprised, I have overcome my fear of savory white things, especially because this dressing is packed with protein and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
