5-Minute Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing

One of the first things I have new clients in The Clear Skin Solution work to start eliminating is dairy. You can read why in my chicken parmesan recipe from last month. 

And I know dairy is hard for people to give up — even if it is to get rid of chronic acne. It’s a big ask for some people. I was one of them.

My favourite foods used to be grilled cheese, pizza and fettuccini Alfredo.

So I get it.

What I do with my clients is offer up healthy substitutions for their favourite dairy products.

Need the creaminess in your coffee? Try full fat coconut milk.

Want a thick Greek-style yogurt? Try unsweetened coconut or cashew yogurt.

Love ice cream? Opt for a vegan ice cream sweetened with honey.

Have to have cheese? Try my cashew cheese recipe.

There is always an alternative for any dairy must-have.

One I get a lot from my clients is they want a dairy-free ranch dressing. People who love ranch really LOVE it.

I made this recipe for them.

Flavouring Up Vegetables

“Vegetables to me are just kinda plain and boring.”

I hear this a lot from new clients and it’s something we address right away. I want to see them hit that range of 7-10 servings of vegetables a day. That is what’s going to be providing them with a broad range of nutrients to help heal their body (which is how we heal their skin).

We do this by…

  1. Starting slowly — especially for those that eat minimal vegetables.
  2. Adding flavour to them.

Dips, sauces and this 5-minute dairy-free ranch dressing are perfect for here.

Add a drizzle over top over your vegetables or keep on the side to enjoy with them.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups vegan mayo I used soy-free vegenaise
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk use less for a thicker dressing

Notes

I find it tastes even better the next day once the flavours have had time to meld together.

Paragraph

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.

Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"My skin is definitely consistently good now."

I feel like I didn't know why I would go through good spells before and then terrible breakouts. My energy levels and motivation have also returned. This is all so huge for me.

Sara P.

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I use to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
