This homemade vegan ranch dressing recipe is hands down the best vegan version you’ll ever try! It tastes exactly like the real thing and is easy to whip up in 5 minutes or less. No raw cashews, vegan buttermilk, or high-speed blender is required.

Although we love our whole-food plant-based ranch dressing, we wanted to make an even simpler one you could make at home without any prep work or need for kitchen appliances. Once you give this quick and easy version a try, you’ll never have to buy it at the store again.

It’s quick to make, requires just 8 simple ingredients and will last for days in your refrigerator. You won’t be sorry you have this dairy-free ranch dressing on hand for all of your dipping and drizzling needs.

Ingredients You’ll Need 

• Vegan mayonnaise: There are several brands available in stores today, so feel free to use your favorite! We used Follow Your Heart, but Just Mayo, Hellman’s, Primal Kitchen, and Chosen Foods are other popular choices.
• Vegan sour cream: We also used Follow Your Heart sour cream here, but again, use your favorite! There are several options and nut-free options as needed.
• Fresh herbs: A combination of fresh parsley, dill, and chives creates the classic flavor of this tangy dressing. Fresh herbs are highly recommended, but dried herbs can be substituted in a pinch.
• Vegan Worcestershire: In order to keep this dressing both vegan and gluten-free, we used Edward & Son’s vegan Worcestershire. When shopping for a Worcestershire, always check the ingredients for anchovies or fish.
• Spices: A blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper helps add savoriness and makes this ranch addicting!
• Apple cider vinegar: Adds a final acidity and tanginess that balances the creamy flavor.

Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl or glass jar such as a Mason jar
• Fork or whisk

How to Make Vegan Ranch Dressing

1.  Mix ingredients together. In a medium mixing bowl or glass jar, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, dill, chives, vegan Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
2. Season to taste. Adjust the seasonings as desired.

Serving Suggestions 

The best part about homemade vegan ranch is there are endless uses for it! Here are some of our favorite ways to use this versatile creamy ranch.

• As a vegan salad dressing: Perhaps the most classic way to enjoy ranch, you can’t go wrong with drizzling this homemade ranch dressing on Grilled Romaine Lettuce or Vegan Cobb Salad. Try it on our Vegan Ranch Kale Chips, too!
• As a dip: Ranch is perfect dip for spicy Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, Spicy Dairy Free Mozzarella Sticks, raw veggies like carrot and celery sticks, french fries or even served as a dip with French Bread Pizza.
• As a sauce or spread: Vegan ranch dressing is delicious spread on veggie burgers or sandwiches like our Buffalo Tofu Sandwich and as a garnish on Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip, Grilled Buffalo Corn on the Cob, or Vegan Chicken Pesto Pizza.

Storage Instructions

This homemade vegan ranch dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week when stored in an airtight container. If using dried herbs, your vegan ranch dressing may last even longer. Freezing is not recommended as it is likely to separate and become a weird, grainy texture once thawed.
