I did! Though this wasn&#8217;t a dressing I grew up eating, I was instantly hooked when I first tasted it.  Since returning to my plant-based vegetarian roots, I have made many versions (some very good too) but this one is the simplest of them all.  All you need is yogurt and plant-based mayo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ranch dressing is made from two home-made ingredients: <a href=\"https:\/\/simplepreparations.com\/index.php\/2022\/06\/01\/sda-style-soymilk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SDA-style soymilk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/simplepreparations.com\/index.php\/2019\/10\/30\/plant-based-mayo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plant-based mayo<\/a>.  Everything else is created by God. You don&#8217;t have to make plant-based buttermilk or plant-based sour cream, like I used to first. Just have these two staple ingredients handy and VIOLA!!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you may need to adjust the salt to your liking.  I usually add plant-based cheese and bac&#8217;uns to my ranch dressing salads and these ingredients are salty; therefore, my dressing doesn&#8217;t need to be that salty.  Remember that you can use any black pepper substitute you like, but my go-to is Monk&#8217;s pepper or chasteberry tree tea (grounded).  Refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/simplepreparations.com\/index.php\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resource page<\/a> of this blog for my go-to non-stimulating spice substitutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranch dressing is the most requested recipe I have.  I make a harder version, but this one I posted because it is so simple. Just remember to use a neutral tasting yogurt. The Asian-style soymilk yogurt will have an off-putting flavor; so, don&#8217;t use that.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Without further ado, let me know how much you like this dressing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Soy Yogurt Ranch Dressing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 c. soy yogurt <\/li><li>\u00bd c. plant-based mayo<\/li><li>1 Tbs. lemon\/lime juice<\/li><li>1 small clove garlic or \u00bc tsp. garlic powder<\/li><li>1 tsp. dried parsley flakes<\/li><li>1 tsp. sea salt or to taste<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp. onion powder (or more up to 1 tsp.)<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp. dried dill weed<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp.  dried chives<\/li><li>\u00bc tsp. black pepper substitute<\/li><li>\u215b tsp shiitake mushroom powder or nutritional yeast (for umami), optional<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Blend all ingredients on low until well combined This will help the parsley not be broken down.
