Vegan Ranch Dip

This recipe is adapted from one in Vegetarian Times – April 2007 Issue. I wouldn’t call this a “Ranch” dip, but it was very good. Perhaps if I had followed the original recipe exactly it might have been better, but I believe it still would have been missing that “cheesy” flavour that ranch typically has.
