I love ranch dressing, but it's so heavy! Here's a lighter version that also happens to be vegan. You can substitute regular low-fat mayonnaise and skim milk for the soy milk and vegan mayo.


Ingredients
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
3 T red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh herbs (I used parsley, basil, thyme, a bit of mint, and dill. Use any combination, including cilantro, oregano, etc.)
1/2 clove garlic
1 t onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Mix all ingredients in a blender and pulse until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. The flavors will get more intense as the dressing sits. Add more soy milk if the dressing is too thick or too intense. (You can also use dried onion or garlic powder in this recipe.)
