VEGAN RANCH DRESSING
Fragrant with fresh herbs, this scrumptious vegan ranch dressing gets its creaminess from your choice of tofu or cannellini beans.Toss this vegan ranch dressing with greens or into a Buddha bowl, or serve it as a dip with crudités and other finger foods, such as our Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites! For a thinner consistency that lends itself to drizzling, add a little more plant milk in Step 1.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.
