Dairy Free Ranch Dressing

Dairy Free Ranch Dressing

For those of us who are dairy free, there are a lot of missed foods. Luckily the industry has quite a few milks (almond milk, oat milk) and yogurts (almond, cashew, coconut yogurt). You can find a dairy free ranch dressing but they usually have a ton of preservatives in it and don’t taste all that great. I was playing around in the kitchen and this ranch dressing tastes pretty good! And is free of preservatives (except whatever is found in the yogurt and mayo). I hope you enjoy it!

Dairy Free Ranch Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup avocado oil mayonnaise*
  • 1/3 cup almond yogurt (plain)
  • 1/2 tsp dill
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • Directions:

    Blend in a blender until smooth.

    *You can also omit the mayo and you will have a less thick, slightly more sour (due to yogurt flavor) ranch. It is still yummy ranch flavored and is lighter.

Gluten Free Cookbooks

A new cookbook has arrived, and I was asked to review it. With almost 100 recipes, CarbSmart Low-Carb & Gluten-Free Fall and Winter Entertaining by Tracey Rollison & Misty Humphrey, is a kitchen essential for when you need to entertain guests and you want to serve delicious dishes that are low carb and gluten free. The recipes are easy to prepare without relying the usual processed foods.

Original and tantalizing recipes like pepperoni chip dippers and Swiss pecan crisps jumped right off the page. These are both creative gluten free alternatives to crackers.

This book is perfect for people who have struggled with balancing the desire to provide guests with scrumptious dishes and yet maintain the healthy goal of celebrating the holidays without added sugar or gluten free.

You can find it on Amazon here. The same publisher has another gluten free cookbook: Easy Gluten-Free Entertaining
