Our son, Mr. A is allergic to milk. We found out right after his 4th birthday, and have been learning and experimenting with dairy free cooking ever since! One of the first things we needed to find was a dairy free ranch dressing. They do exist at the grocery store, but they are expensive! Like $7-8 and more for a small bottle. yuck!
With just a little searchingI found this awesome recipe from Genius Kitchen.
I have since changed a few things, but the basic ideas are still the same.
Also, as I often do, I quit measuring the seasonings after a while, you kind of get a feel for how much of each seasoning you need!
For my version of Dairy Free Ranch Dressing, you need:
*1 cup mayonnaise
*rice milk
*1⁄2 teaspoon dried parsley
*1⁄2 teaspoon dried dill weed
*1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
*1⁄8 teaspoon salt
*2-3 cracks of fresh ground black pepper
Dump everything but the milk in your container. You can use a salad dressing bottle, or a mason jar, or just about any container you can shake and has a lid. Then add a tablespoon or so of milk and shake. Then add more milk as needed till you get to the consistency you want. It won't thicken or thin, so get it where you want. It can be eaten right away but the flavors develop much better if it gets to sit for at least an hour before use.
Enjoy!
