(NOTE: The picture is of a "Mexican pizza" it is just a whole wheat flour tortilla fried in some olive oil and topped with refried beans, olives, tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms and onions, lettuce, Cheezy sauce, and of course the Ranch Dressing!)
Just Like Mom's Homemade Ranch Dressing
1 cup of Sunflower Seed Sour Cream (recipe below, Note: This can be left out if you are in a hurry or just want it more simple! It's not quite as rich, thick, and creamy, but still really good)
1 cup Vegenaise
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (more if you like it really tangy)
1 Tablespoon Parsley
Chives (optional)
Dill (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 teaspoon garlic
salt & pepper to taste I usually use about 1/4 teaspoon of each
Blend all ingredients in blender until nice and smooth. It will be dip like consistency and great for carrot sticks etc. To make more dressing like consistency add some water or rice milk. Also it will thicken a bit in the fridge so keep that in mind.
MMMmmmMMMmmm, CREAMY, & Delicious
Sunflower Seed Sour Cream
I have tried the sour cream recipe and it isn't that thick. Does it thicken in the fridge and then serve it? Your sunflower seeds, do you soak them?
ReplyDeleteNo I do not soak the sunflower seeds first. They are just raw NOT roasted and salted;) and I put them in the blender. And yes it does thicken in the fridge. Be sure to blend it till it is nice and smooth. I should be about the consistancy of a runny milk shake before you put it in the fridge and thick dip after it has chilled. Hope that helps! ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteTam,
ReplyDeleteI would not consider myself a healthy cook -- by any stretch of the imagination -- but I just made this recipe, and it is YUMMY!!! I can't wait to serve it to my kids!
Thanks for all these recipes - I can't wait to try them all! And, hopefully, one day I will be a healthy cook!
