Soylicious® Ranch Dip and Dressing
Whip up this American classic in just 10 minutes, no packet required!
Ranch dressing has become an icon of American food culture. In fact, a 2017 study by the Association for Dressings and Sauces found that 40% of Americans named ranch as their favorite dressing.
So, what’s the difference between ranch dip and dressing?
Dip is typically thicker, often made with sour cream, mayo, or yogurt in addition to buttermilk—and you can spice it up with add-ins like crushed red pepper or sriracha.
This recipe uses soy buttermilk in place of dairy, honoring the classic flavors with a healthier twist. It’s easy, delicious, and customizable—swap in fresh herbs if you have them on hand.
Enjoy this soy-powered spin on a true American favorite!
