Apr 12 Got a problem that needs a dressing?

Salad dressing seems oddly expensive to me… And honestly, there aren’t a lot of them out there that I really like. Usually, I just go with some olive oil, sometimes with maybe a dash of balsamic vinegar, and call it a day. But last week I got a craving for Ranch that I couldn’t shake.

This recipe is not only SUPER good, it is really forgiving. I ate my first batch in a far shorter amount of time than you’d want to finish that much dressing. Eh, no regrets here…

Time: 5 minutes
Servings: not as many as you want it to be…

Ingredients

1 cup mayo
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Kala Namak (or regular salt if you’re out)
1/8 tsp MSG (no worries if you don't have this, just omit it but it really does add that little bit of magic)
1 Tbs dried dill
1 tsp finely chopped chives (or green onion in a pinch)

Directions

Put all the ingredients into a small food processor and give it a whirl. In lieu of a food processor, get out that whisk and use your muscles!

I’m usually a fan of the heavier type sauces; your red sauces, cream sauces, and cheesey type sauces. Well, the husband usually favors a lighter sauce so I try to make them every so often ;-) The other night I was craving pasta and decided to try one we’d not had before: Kite Hill Tortellini. Given that the pasta itself was heavier than a traditional noodle I thought that this was a perfect night to try out one of those lighter sauces that the husband likes :-) Time: 10-15 minutes Servings: 2 Ingredients • 3 Tbs lemon juice • 2 Tbs olive oil • 2 Tbs non-dairy butter • 2 Tbs chopped chives plus additional for garnish • 1 Tbs herbs de Provence • ½ Tbs garlic powder • ¼ tsp salt Add the olive oil and butter to a small sauce pan and set to medium-low heat to melt the butter. Add in the chopped chives, herbs de Provence, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Turn the heat to low and warm the ingredients together for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Spoon over your pasta of choice, garnish with additional chopped scallions and serve! . . . #veganaf #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #veganblogger #vegansofinstagram #veganrecipe #dairyfree #foodporn #findingvegan #bestofveganrecipes #friendsnotfood #crueltyfree #animalrights #plantpower #vegancommunity #vegancomfortfood #fussfreevegan #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #veganfoodlovers #tortellini #pasta #lemon #herbs
