Provided by Ivy Larson

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup raw cashews
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon raw honey
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon organic Worchesteshire sauce (here's a gluten-free option)
Pink Himalayan sea salt (to taste)
Coarsely ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your dressing will be.
Use a good-quality mayonnaise. Avoid low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, as it will not have the same rich flavor and creaminess.
Use fresh herbs and spices. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but they will not have the same flavor as fresh ones.
Adjust the flavor to your liking. Add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste.
Chill the dressing before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the dressing more refreshing.
Serve the dressing with your favorite foods. Ranch dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on salads, sandwiches, wraps, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Clean ranch dressing is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional ranch dressing. It is made with all-natural ingredients and is free from preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors. Clean ranch dressing is a great way to add flavor to your favorite foods without sacrificing your health. With its creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavor, clean ranch dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
