Description

All the favourite flavours of Ranch dressing, with the added sweetness and complexity of black garlic and the nutrition of cashews in one oil-free healthy dressing that will have you hooked.
You can use this just as you would any ranch dressing, over your favourite salad, or as dip for crudites, due to its creamy consistency.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 2 tbsp raisins (Try 1 tbsp first if you prefer your dressing on the more savoury side.)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp fresh Parsley
  • 1 clove fresh garlic
  • 3 cloves black garlic
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp liquid aminos (or Tamari or soy sauce. Liquid Aminos are slightly sweeter, so you might have to adjust the seasoning if you are using one of the other options)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews overnight in cold water or for about 1h in freshly boiled water.
  2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning, adding salt, pepper or vinegar to your taste.

I usually make a large jar of this on my weekend and keep it in the fridge for my daily salad. It keeps for 4-5 days without any issues.
