Most of the harvest is in and it has been a great year for the garden with abundant rain. In the fall garden we now have kale, broccoli and my favorite, lettuce. We typically pant a mix of lettuce types, thinning the patch from week to week to give the remaining plants more room to grow.

I really like the flavor and texture of Ranch Dressing, but prefer this vegan recipe to the standard sour cream. It’s quick and easy to prepare and satisfies that desire for a creamy dressing.

  • 1 cup vegan mayonnaise (Vegenaise or Nasoya Nayonaise)
  • 1/4 cup soy milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Mix all ingredients together in a blender and combine until smooth. When I am in a hurry I even forgo the blender and mix everything together in a jar with a small whisk.

Enjoy!
