Refrigerate any remaining Creamy Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Vegan ranch dressings are all dairy-free. They are made with plant-based milk alternatives, vegan buttermilk, and vegan mayonnaise. Traditional ranch dressing is made with sour cream or mayonnaise, and buttermilk.
Combine lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or distilled white vinegar with nondairy milk to make vegan buttermilk. Soy milk works best because of its creamy texture.
