Hi all, this is a recipe I came up with and family on facebook asked for the recipe so I decided to post it here as well. My meat and dairy consuming mom thought it was even better than the real thing. Enjoy. -Kate
For those of you who inquired, here is the recipe for the ND ranch dressing. :D It tastes more on the ranch dip side of things but since all of the ranch dressing mixes have powdered buttermilk or non fat dry milk, it has to suffice. At this point, I could care less. Ranch is ranch. Okay, so first of all, you need to get a ranch dip mix. DO NOT BUY HIDDEN VALLEY BRAND. It has buttermilk powder in it. Not good. I used Kroger's name brand but check your labels carefully. I only used about 3/4 of a package of the powdered mix.
Next you need:
*About 12 oz of Tofutti sour cream substitute (or other sour cream alternative)
*1/3 or so of a cup of light mayo, or Veganaise if you don't dig the eggs in mayo.
*1-3 oz. of milk alternative (soy, almond, oat, rice etc.). I used oat milk which works well in anything creamy. You could also just use water-this is used to thin out the dip to the consistency you prefer. If you want more of a dip, nix this part all together.
*A splash of dill pickle juice (totally optional, I just like the extra tang and dill flavor)
Mix well and let sit for a minute or two. Then just pop it in the fridge until you are ready to use. As some of you know, soy based products without dairy aren't always terribly strong on being homogonized (it separates) so I would suggest you shake it up if it has not been used in a few days. You could add some garlic or dill weed if you wanted to mix things up a bit, I might even try some cayenne. That might be yummy.

Nix the dill next time. It was a little too tangy for my taste...
