Are you frustrated trying to find a salad dressing that is Plant Based Vegan and Oil Free at the grocery store? Or you find yourself at a restaurant or salad bar only to find out that there are no salad dressings available for you to eat that are vegan and you have to eat your salad with no dressing? This Hempseed Ranch Dressing is super easy to make and is free of oil but loaded with nutrition and healthy fats. Hemp Seeds are an amazing balanced source of Omega 3 and 6 which are the essential fats that our bodies need but are rarely found together in a balance ratio that our bodies can utilize.
Ingredients
3 Tbsp Hemp hearts
2 Tbsp raisins
3 Tbsp rolled oats
1 tsp dried dill weed
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cracked pepper
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk ( sorry in the video I say almond milk but I meant to say soy )
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth
- If you want it to be thicker, place it in the fridge for a couple hours
- It will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge

Thanks for the recipe! May I substitute chia or flax seeds for the hemp? I’m in Japan and I doubt it is available here.
Hey Suzanne, I got my hemp seeds from Amazon.co.jp. 180-200gm is about ¥1400-¥1800.
I made this after I watched your video. Tasted wonderful! So creamy. Haven’t had a dressing like this for a long time. Thanks!
Was wondering if I could use flax or chia seeds in place of hemp seeds. Thanks.
Won’t be the same at all. Hemp makes a very creamy milk
You’d have better look using a nut like cashew. If you have a nut allergy you may want to double the oats instead. Flax and chia are completely different and will result in a viscous, snot-like texture rather than a creamy salad dressing.
ill be using a date instead of raisins. not a fan of raisins
Hi! Looking for the link to your onion powder. Thanks!
So am I!
Can I use a homemade nut milk rather than soy?
I love this recipe, thank you so much. Although I used 2 small dates and had oat milk instead of the soy milk. It came out so nice.
Thank you for this recipe. I am cooking for someone who cant have vinagar. What can I substitute?
Try lemon 🙂
You can use lemon juice
How about a balsamic vinaigrette?
Balsamic might be a bit strong but if you really like balsamic, then go for it =)
Jill if I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up, but is Soy not linked with cancer? Maybe I’m wrong but I’m just checking to be sure. Thanks. P.
