There are many variations of this homemade ranch dressing mix on the interwebs, but this is a tried and true recipe I’ve had for a long time. I’m not sure where it came from, but both Mr. Key Lime and I really like the flavors. I use this mix to make a vegan ranch dressing sandwich spread and vegan ranch salad dressing (all recipes included, below).
It’s easy to keep on hand. Mix a little in with your vegan mayonnaise (I use Hellman’s) for sandwich spread, and then add a little plant-based milk if you need a dressing. Be sure to make it ahead so it can chill for at least two hours and preferably 3 or 4 hours before you use it. It’s quick, easy, and delicious! The sandwich spread is especially good on this German Cucumber Radish Sandwich or on a veggie sub sandwich. Give it a try!
