This creamy ranch dressing made with silken tofu is my go-to for salads and veggie dips. It's simple, light, and packed with flavor!
I remember the first time I made this vegan ranch dressing; I was hosting a little picnic in my backyard, and I wanted something hearty yet refreshing.
Using silken tofu gives it that smooth, creamy texture without any vegan sour cream.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Silken tofu is really versatile and works beautifully in dressings. If you're not a fan of almond almond milk, feel free to swap it out for soy or oat almond milk—just pick what you enjoy! I often keep a batch of this dressing in the fridge; it lasts about a week! Just give it a stir if it separates a bit.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar so it stays fresh for days and looks pretty in the fridge.
- •Letting it chill in the fridge for a while really helps the flavors come together.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a splash of lemon juice for an extra zing.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Storage & Freezing
Store this ranch dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll keep for about a week, but it’s so good, it’ll probably be gone long before that!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use firm tofu instead?
You could, but the texture might be a bit grainy. Silken tofu is best for that smooth finish.
How can I make it spicier?
Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce to give it a little kick!
