Ranch Dressing

This easy dressing recipe is for one large portion, but feel free to increase quantities as necessary to keep plenty to hand in your fridge.

You can also freeze it in ice cube trays for future use to save time and effort later.

Feel free to use frozen veg/fruit/herbs etc in any of our recipes if you don’t have fresh options.

If you are allergic to nuts, you can try substituting cashews for sunflower seeds in this recipe.

Top Tips

If there are any ingredients that you do not like in any of my recipes, then feel free to swap them out for another food choice within the same food category (grains, beans & other legumes, fruit, veg, nuts & seeds).

You can also use frozen fruit or veg when you don’t have the fresh option.

Don’t forget to keep the skins on your veg for essential added fibre and nutrition.
