Dress up your veggies with this vegan ranch dressing. We love it over butter lettuce and shiitake mushrooms or as a dipping sauce for collard wraps. It’s a delicious way to enjoy protein and veggies together and, when eaten as a snack or at lunch, provides sustainable energy to last throughout the day.
Feeling more decadent? Toss this with chilled potatoes, chopped celery, and capers for a Ranch Potato Salad.
