I crave cheese, ice cream and dairy of all kinds. Chocolate, too. My true allergies are banana, tomato, lemon, orange, dairy, chocolate, pecans and walnuts. I suspect coconut now, too, although I haven’t been officially tested for it-however I experience debilitating joint pain when I ingest anything pertaining to coconut.
I’m sensitive/intolerant of gluten along with eggs, maple, honey and sugar.
There are days I would “die” to eat pizza, but I don’t risk it bc of the potential consequences if I did (tomato, cheese, gluten). I’ve thought of making my own gluten, dairy, tomato-free pizza, but the fake cheeses available are either really not at all like cheese, or made with coconut milk.
My major cravings usually involve dairy, eggs, sugar, or wheat bread.
I went an entire year without cheating on any of those things, but have found it difficult lately to resist some of the cravings.
You can’t pay me to touch lemons or bananas bc of how I react, but sometimes I’m tempted to suffer through the reactions to some of the other foods.
:-)
Wow, that is quite a list Julia. I hope that feeling better is the reward for sticking to your diet.
Wow!! After reading your allergies to food I know that I should stop having pity parties for myself! I am allergic to (so far!) wheat, soy, & peanuts! But I swear everything I use to love to eat has one if not all these ingredients:( quick question the joint pain how or who linked this with a food allergy, none of the many doctors I have seen have done that. They keep it separate & tell me I have fibromyalgia!! Which before I knew my allergies & was ingesting this food my joints hurt so bad it was like they were toxic to my body!?!?
Hi Nicole – it is always best to look at what you can eat instead of what you can’t! That’s what keeps me from my own pity party :) I think many people who are gluten intolerant have joint pain when they injest gluten. My doctor specializes in functional medicine so she is the one who put it together for me but I can tell you this – when I eat gluten my joints hurt, when I don’t, they don’t. Good luck!
I hate seeing food with all of that unnatural stuff in it. It’s so unnecessary. We try to keep an all natural household, but it’s difficult when some of our favorite foods are filled with high fructose corn syrup and chemicals. But this looks like a really great way for Julian to enjoy his favorite food. This is wonderful!
Thank you so much and yes, Julian is pretty happy!
This recipe looks great- I love your picture. I hate all the chemicals that are put in our foods too. It’s sometimes hard finding the time to make things from scratch but it’s worth it.
Thanks Cassidy and I agree, from scratch is often worth the time and effort!
I love making my own salad dressings…what an enticing way to have my hubby eat more salad!
Just in time for the 4th! Thanks so much!
My next triumph to find a recipe for ketchup without HFCSyrup? Do you have one for me, Carol?
Happy and safe 4th of July to all! Ciao Bella!
Yes! Organicville ketchup – it is sweetened with agave – no hfcs! Here’s a link http://organicvillefoods.com/products/condiments/organic-ketchup/
Happy fourth to you and yours Nancy!

In a pinch, Heinz make 2 varieties that are free from HFCS. Heinz organic and Simply Heinz.
Oh, By the way… I made the Cherry Cake….WOW! Love it and so will my Dad! Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know. So glad you loved it, let me know what your Dad thinks.

Is there anything special about Vegenaise or can I use any vegan mayo substitute? I’ve never seen that brand in the UK.
Hi Julia, You can use any type of vegan mayo substitute they sell in your area, I just happen to really like the flavor of Vegenaise but use what you like.
Thanks, Carol. Going to make some today. :)
Thanks for the wonderful recipe! It was just what I was looking for. But , I have one question: You did not specify what type of coconut milk. The thick canned coconut milk or the thinner boxed shelf stable coconut milk.
Please clarify! Thanks!!
Sandy
Hi Sandy,
Use the thick coconut milk in the can, it will give you a nicer consistancy.

Thanks for the motivation to try some new foods! I recently found out about my gluten intolerance, and am still learning so much each day! I was wondering how long the dressing lasts before it goes bad? I would be the only one to eat it at my house.
It lasted a week at my house, not sure if if would have lasted lnger or not because it was all gone! I liked it so much I put it on everything :)
Do you think I could use regular mayo? We are GFCF and try to avoid soy but aren’t vigilant about it. I just don’t know that we would eat all the Veganaise before it goes bad.
Sure Becca, if eggs are not a problem for you, regular myo is a perfectly good substitute. Stop back by and tell me what you think!
Yum! Thank you for this great recipe! I will try it soon. I have quite a few foods I can’t eat, but the latest and saddest is nightshades. Potatoes specifically. I REALLY crave potato chips, in fact I just grazed a handful of them at a party yesterday and when the tight chest and wheezing kicked in I was bewildered. That is how badly I want them, I’ll just forget completely. Really, that was probably the last time.
Oh I think that would be so hard for me too, being Irish, potatoes are like mother’s milk to me! But it it is always better to avoid the foods our bodies don’t like and feel good!
I knew this recipe was a winner before I started so I doubled it! Last nite before eating my salad, I added a splash of hot sauce for a kick!
Thanks for the link for the ketchup!
Your Cherry cake is my Dad’s new favorite! He ask me to say “Thank you” to you.
You completely outdid yourself with this recipe, Carol! I made it tonight and it was a hit – everyone loved it. Thank you for the wonderful recipe! ;)
Thanks for letting me know Megan and I am glad you all liked it!
I made this yesterday for my niece’s bday party. Many of the guests are gluten and dairy intolerant so My sister wanted as many of the options to be safe for all. It was a HUGE hit! However, I did make a few modifications. I bought Goya canned coconut milk but I think you meant Cream of Coconut. The consistency of the canned milk was no different than the So Delicious I get. So I doubled the mayo to make it thicker. Also I remembered the parsley but forgot the chives so I doubled up the parsley. I had several folks ask for the recipe. Brava!
Hi Becca,
There are a lot of variations in the thickness of cocnut milk – for this recipe I used Thai Kitchen which is thicker that the Goya but adding more mayo is a perfect solution. Don’t you love the fact that recipes can be tailored to suit what you have on hand and what you remeber :) Thanks for the feed back!
It’s too bad there is SOY and CANOLA based mayo in this, both are horrible for health. Soy is only edible if it’s fermented and canola is not at all.
The new Veganiase products are soy free.
I have made this several times and love it! Not sure what happened with my last batch. The coconut milk and lemon juice and vinegar was sitting for it’s 5 minutes and thickening great, and then right before it was time to add the rest of the ingredients it had separated and become quit thin. I thought it might thicken again in the refrigerator but hasn’t. Any ideas how to save it?? I doubled the batch so I am doubly bummed.
Hmmm – did you try whisking the daylights out of it? I am not sure why it would have all of a sudden gotten thin but my first instinct would be to whisk. Let me know if that helps.
Hey, just made this and it’s very liquidy. I thought this was for dipping veggies in. What did I do wrong.
Hi Joan. It is a dressing, like Ranch Dressing – if you like it thicker just add a touch more Vegenaise.
I am totally going to try this!! I am on an elimination diet for an eosinophilic disorder and I didn’t know what I was going to do without my Ranch dressing. It is amazing how your whole life can change based on something as seemingly simple as a food allergy.
Enjoy Kelly and yes, I agree – your whole life can change drastically. The good news is that your life can totally change for the better as your health is restored.
Can you use almond milk in place of coconut? Coconut anything…not so much!
Yes, you can use any kind of dairy free milk you like. Enjoy!
I crave all thing gluten.. Toast, rolls, cinnamon buns, donuts, pasta. *sigh*
Linda,
I feel you! It gets easier!
xo,
Carol
