Use Cauliflower As a Base for a Healthier Ranch Sauce
If you love the idea of replacing heavy cream with brightly juicy onion puree , here’s another vegetable substitute to try: Next time you’re making your ranch dressing, try replacing buttermilk with cauliflower puree.
In her new book Superfood Snacks , all-natural chef Julie Morris offers a ranch sauce recipe that’s naturally low-fat, low-calorie, and vegan, thanks to the help of cauliflower. The full list of ingredients may sound unusual – it includes almond milk, hemp seeds, and apple cider vinegar – but the result mimics the flavor and texture of a traditional ranch. Note that unlike most ranch dressings, you will need a blender to make this recipe.
Once you’ve prepared the sauce, it lasts for a week in the refrigerator, and you can pair it like you would on a traditional ranch with broccoli, carrot sticks, or celery; Would be nice with sweet fries or breadsticks. And here’s the fun part: This sauce can be made with thawed frozen cauliflower, which is much easier to have on hand than buttermilk.
