Ranch Dressing - Non Dairy

I know, several of my recent posts have been about taquitos - what can I say? We love taquitos and to eat them properly, you need ranch and special salsa. As seen in this photo:

In my recent quest to make wfpb acceptable taquitos, I created this ranch dressing recipe - the spices combination come from wellness mama, but she didn't have a dairy free option for the dressing part of it. So here's mine. It's not Hidden Valley, but it is plant based and still tastes great too.

Spice Mixture
1/4 c. dried parsley
1/2 t. ground black pepper
1 T. dill weed
1 T. garlic powder
1/2 t. basil
Mix in food processor and store in airtight container.

Dressing
1 c. raw cashews (drained if soaked for 2-4 hours if you don't have a high powered blender)
1/2 c. silken tofu
3 T. coconut milk
2 T. lemon juice
salt to taste
1/2 - 1 c. water

In a high powered blender, blend ingredients until a smooth dressing like consistency is reached - add water slowly as needed until desired viscosity is reached.

Add 1 Tablespoon +/- of the spice mixtures, then season to taste with salt and additional ground black pepper if needed.
