For especially quick and crowd-pleasing dressings, skip the pre-made bottles and whip up our own using our Nigella Caesar or Ranch Seasoning blends.
It’s tart, savory, vegan, and whips up in no time. To make a quick dressing, mix 1/4 cup Nigella Caesar spice with 1/3 cup water and 1 cup vegetable oil. Whisk it all together and you’ve got a creamy, flavor-packed vegan dressing in minutes. |
For a tangy, creamy, herb-packed dressing perfect for salads, veggies, or dipping just about anything, combine one cup of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of Ranch Seasoning, a big squeeze of lemon, a dash of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
