Vegan Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing is not always easy to buy ready-made in a dairy-free version, so this versatile recipe comes to the rescue.

Makes: about 1 cup

• 1/2 cup plain soy or coconut yogurt
• 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
• Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning blend (such as Spike or Mrs. Dash)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with 1/4 cup water and whisk together until smooth. Transfer to a tightly lidded cruet or bottle. Shake or stir well before each use.

Variation: Eliminate the water and use as a dip for raw vegetables.

Good with: Green salads, slaws, pasta salads, and potato salads.
