Creamy Herb Salad Dressing
I haven’t had commercial ranch dressing in a long time, so I can’t say for sure whether this is like it. Well, that doesn’t matter anyway. This dressing is GOOD.
Creamy Herb Salad Dressing

- 12 ounces silken tofu
- 3/4 cup filtered water
- juice of one lemon
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth. Refrigerate.

Hi Wardeh,
My mom and I love your family blog. It’s very inspiring and it reminds me of how much my parents love me. My mom keeps planning projects for me to do on the Internet thinking of my future.
Thank you for the dressing recipe Wardeh. This one sound delicious! My mom took note of it and is planning to make it soon, cause I love dressing on my salad. Yam-mi!
Thank you for dedicating time to share all this with us.

Hi,
Paula
I am grateful to find a recipe for dairy and gluten free salad dressing. I wonder in this creamy dill one, could I substitute the Tofu for a heavy whipping cream made from soy?
Thanks
Paula, I’m really not sure. But I would definitely try it, if it were me. Don’t use any water at the beginning. Then only add some if it is too thick. I have a feeling you won’t need any at all, or very little. Love, Wardeh
Hi Wardeh,
I am really excited to try a dairy free salad dressing. I am always looking for healthy sauce options. I do have one question about this recipe. What is silken tofu exactly?
Thanks!
JJ,
Silken tofu is the type of tofu that falls apart. It is smooth and custardy. The other type of tofu is more solid. Wherever tofu is sold, look for “silken” on the package.
Love, Wardeh
