About

A creamy, dairy-free ranch dressing featuring the smooth richness of Kikkoman Soymilk, balanced with serrano chiles, garlic, fresh cilantro, and a touch of tangy lime juice. This versatile vegan ranch is perfect for salads, sandwiches, wraps, fries, pasta and dipping sauces.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups light neutral oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup Kikkoman® Soy Milk
  • 6 Tbsp Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
  • 8 Tbsp fresh lime juice (½ cup)
  • 2-3 whole serrano chiles (or seeded adjust for heat preference)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1/4  cilantro
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 ½ – 4 tsp salt (to taste)

Directions

    1. Prepare ingredients.
      Peel and crush garlic cloves. Finely chop serrano chiles, onion, garlic, cilantro and dill if using fresh herbs.
    2. Add remaining ingredients.
      With the blender running on medium-high speed, blend garlic, serrano chiles, cilantro, onion, nutritional yeast and salt. Then add Kikkoman Soymilk and lime juice, blend until smooth and evenly incorporated.
    3. Emulsify the ranch.
      Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil while blending continuously. Continue blending until thick, creamy, and fully emulsified.
    4. Adjust seasoning.
      Taste and adjust salt as needed. For a thinner dressing consistency, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of soy milk or additional lime juice until desired texture is reached.
    5. Use or Store.
      Transfer to a clean container and refrigerate before serving. Ideal for salads, vegetable platters, sandwiches, wraps, fries, and dipping sauces.
