BBQ Ranch Bowl (Vegan!)

Published on in Gluten Free, Grain Free, Quick & Easy Dinners, Salads & Bowls, Sugar & Flour Free, Vegan, Vegetarian

I’m a ranch freak. There’s no dressing more satisfying, and I used to put it on more things than are probably normal. I mourned this creamy, delicious dressing when I first started eating plant-based, until I discovered vegan mayo. Here’s my go-to vegan ranch recipe.

For a mayo-free and oil-free ranch dressing, check out this recipe for avocado ranch.

My favorite thing to do with ranch, besides a hearty chopped salad, is pairing it with a meaty, BBQ-flavored protein. YUM.

      – 1 onion
      – 1/4 cup white vinegar
