A few days ago I posted a recipe for cashew nut yogurt made in such a manner that it doubles wonderfully for dairy-free sour cream. I promised I would share some recipes with you that use this. Here's one that was a big hit for my family. We have loved ranch dressing for years and <gag> even used to buy the box mix to make it with store bought mayonnaise and sour cream. Those little packets are pretty expensive so I learned how to make my own using spices. Then we'd only buy the expensive (MSG laden) packets for special occasions. <yikes!>

In the image above I used my mandolin to slice the cucumbers and radishes. I actually learned something new about my mandoline – I learned how to adjust the part that allows me to make the rippled slices!

Ranch Dressing Dip (Dairy Free)

• 1/2 cup cashew sour cream (Faux Sour Cream)
• 1 small clove garlic, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic powder [affiliate link]
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt [affiliate link]
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper [affiliate link]
• 1 teaspoon parsley [affiliate link] flakes
• pinch of paprika or chili powder [affiliate link]

Mix all ingredients together. You can serve immediately, but the flavors intensify if you place in the refrigerator for a couple hours.
