You know how when you are trying to watch your calories, and you skimp on salad dressing? With this high protein Ranch dressing, you never need to skimp again. It’s super low calorie, but very protein dense! You can use it on salads, loaded fries, pizza, and whatever else my Ranch dressing loving humans want to put it on!
Ingredients
- Extra Firm Silken Tofu – make sure you use silken tofu for this dressing. If you use regular tofu (firm/extra firm/super firm tofu), a dressing you will not get – you will get thick mush, similar to hummus. You can find silken tofu at most grocery stores and you can also buy a shelf-stable variety online. I really like the brand Mori-Nu; I usually get their Extra Firm Silken Tofu because it has great macros. Any silken tofu will work great though!
- Water
- Rice Vinegar – if you don’t have rice vinegar, another mild vinegar could also work, like apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Lemon Juice – I used fresh lemon juice, but you can use store-bought too.
- Salt, garlic powder, onion powder.
- Dill – I recommend using fresh dill.
Instructions
- In a high powered blender, blend everything except for the dill until very smooth.
- Finely chop the fresh dill.
- Add in the chopped dill and pulse the blender until mixed in, or whisk in by hand. Do NOT blend in the dill or you will end up with green ranch dressing 🙂
