Do you want to know one thing you can do this New Year to insure your health? Eat more salads, one might be thinking. What if I told you STOP eating salads/vegetables……………with traditional Ranch dressing because it is horrible for your health! Yes even if it says the golden words, “low fat” and “all natural” it is a bunch of bologna {which pray to God you’re not eating either}!
I have noticed one way to get someone to eat vegetables is to have a dip beside those neglected foods. The problem is most of those dips/dressings are, well, down right dirty! I was perusing the salad dressing aisle at the health food market and even those bottled concoctions were filled with GMO this, chemical that, and preservatives I could not pronounce to save my life!
I realized I wouldn’t have to try to pronounce Disodium Guanylate, Phosphate, Inosinate, Monosodium Glutamate {MSG}, EDTA to save my life; all I had to do was create a dressing that would! Here is why: Many of these so called ingredients may cause kidney damage, possibly lower my bone density, give me a headache, make me fat, nauseas, and have rapid heartbeat {that is a statement from the FDA}!
- ½ cup soaked cashews or macadamias
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup almond milk or plant based milks
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp. coconut manna {learn more}
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. dill
- ⅛ tsp. garlic powder
- few dash ground pepper*
- dash of paprika*

- In Vita Mix or strong blender add nuts, lemon juice, oil, and all spices & herbs.
- Add all other ingredients (manna and milk) and puree until creamy.
- Add any extra salt to taste.
This dressing/dip will last in the refrigerator for a week. If you don’t have time or the ingredients on hand to make this amazing and addicting dressing, just use olive oil and lemon on your salad. Most restaurants will have that choice. Oh, and all those on a candida free diet, this one is for you! No vinegar and no sugar!
With a Spoonful of Ranch-O-Yum,

Delish!! Made it today (while wearing Sage in my wrap too :). You would be proud:) I didn’t have dill so next time I need it!
Greetings. I feel silly asking, but I do not see at what point to add the milk and the manna. Also, could you use ghee in place of the manna?
Thank you so much for your time.

hi Dawn, how much water to soak the nuts, how long and do you drain them? What is coconut manna? (there is no link) and is there a substitute? thanks!
