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
