Creamy Herb Dressing {dairy free}

Mar 6, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Herbed Ranched Dressing

Here's a creamy herb dressing that uses cashews instead of dairy.

Some things to love about this dressing:

  • It's dairy free
  • It has healthy greens
  • It lasts at least a week or so in the fridge
  • It also works great as a dip
  • I use it as a dairy-free crema to spread on spicy and tangy food like taco bowls, burrito bowls, and roasted veggies.

You can use it as the base for other dressings as well, and it's very easy to adjust. You can make it thick, or thin it out by adding more water. I like the way the fresh greens give it a green hue, which reminds me that I'm eating greens.
