1-2 cups of cashews soaked overnight
1 cup of chopped basil
1 cup of chopped dill
1 cup filtered water for blending
Juice of one lemon
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 cup Organic, Extra-Virgin, Cold-Pressed Olive Oil
3 T maple syrup
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons VivAgave (Original)
1 1/2 t black pepper
1 t garlic powder
3 t onion powder
Sea salt to taste
Combine all ingredients except for basil and dill in the blender. Add in chopped basil and dill and pulse so that there are still visible pieces of dill and basil in the dressing. OR simply add in chopped basil and dill at the end to preserve the white "ranch" color.
Note: The ranch dressing is fantastic on the Un-Chicken or in any wrap as well – working as a mock mayo. Remember, the more liquid you add the thinner the dressing will become. If you want to work this as a spread, add less water to the mixture!
