Recipe: Creamy Ranch Dip

This ranch dip is delicious, it tastes a lot like the real thing but much healthier.  Instead of the usual mayonnaise based that ranch has, I use silken tofu which gives a nice, smooth, full texture. 

Put all of your ingredients except the grapeseed oil in a food processor or blender and puree.  With processor running, pour in grapeseed oil.  Grapeseed oil is fantastic because its light and healthy and has similar properties to olive oil without the olive-y taste.  Scrape sides and puree until well combined, about 30 seconds.

Ranch Dip
Makes approx 1 cup

7 oz silken tofu (1/2 of a package), rinsed and gently patted dry
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch cayenne
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp grapeseed oil

Place all ingredients except for grapeseed oil in a food processor or blender.  Puree until well combined, approx 30 sec.  With processor running, pour in grapeseed oil.  Puree for another 30 sec or so until well combined, scraping down sides as necessary.

Serve with veggies, as a dressing, or in a dip.  If used as a dressing, add another tablespoon of grapeseed oil to thin it out.
