Food Vegan Ranch Dressing 4.5 (4) Add your rating & review You’ll be speechless when you try this classic dip with a healthy twist. No one will know this is vegan nor that it has tofu (protein!) in it. Silken tofu blends into a perfectly smooth ranch dressing dip, replacing the usual buttermilk and mayonnaise typically seen in ranch, with garlic and fresh herbs. Our taste testers were convinced it was straight up ranch dressing. Serve with wedged baby lettuces (like Little Gem) for a fun hand-held salad, an array of crudites, or just use as a salad dressing.
