Scarecrow Veggie Ranch Dip

November 11, 2016 by Cara

Here’s a dip your whole dairy free family can enjoy this Thanksgiving. I mean, this HAS to be an appetizer starter before the main meal, right?! You gotta start the day with this Scarecrow Veggie Ranch Dip before you start eating all of the Thanksgiving Stuffing Cupcakes, Cranberry Raspberry Relish, Healthy Green Bean Casserole, and even the Stuffed Squash Turkeys. I do declare this should be a new tradition*

Ingredients

Scale

For the Veggie Ranch Dip:

  • 1 c. raw cashews, soaked in boiling water for 30 minutes, drained
  • 1/2 c. Silk’s original & unsweetened soy (or almond) milk
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. hemp seeds
  • 1/2 of a medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • handful fresh parsley

For the Scarecrow, you’ll need:

  • Shredded carrots (for the hay)
  • Rolled tortilla chips (for the hat)
  • red and orange bell pepper and black olive slice (for the hat belt)
  • cucumber slices and black beans or olives (for the eyes)
  • red bell pepper (for the nose)
  • orange bell pepper and sliced black olives (for the mouth)
  • Fresh veggies and more rolled tortillas chips for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a high-speed blender, blend everything together except for the parsley until completely smooth.
  2. Add parsley and pulse until it is roughly chopped into the dip.
  3. Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  4. Chill for an hour (this will allow it to thicken up and enhance the flavor). Stays fresh for 3-4 days in fridge in an air-tight container.
  5. Pour into a bowl for serving. Create the scarecrow face according to the how-to pictures above. Serve with more fresh veggies and rolled tortilla chips for the dipping.

      You can always use sunflower seeds. Make sure that you soak them (drain them afterward) and use a high-speed blender. It will be a little on the chunkier side but I have made a ranch dip with seeds before and it’s still tasty. As for the milk, use my homemade hempseed milk 🙂

    It looks like this would make a quality salad dressing too.

    The scarecrow part is cool looking, but, I’m interested in this as a salad dressing and all around condiment/dressing.

    I’m going to go give it a whirl and see how it turns out.

    Thank you!

      Had it the night before as a dressing, myself. My husband never knew it was made of cashews!
