The World Cup Made Ranch Go Viral. These Vegan Versions Are Worth the Hype.

Tourists love it, Taylor Swift seemingly can’t get enough of it, and we think it’s one of the best condiments to come out of the US. We’re talking about ranch, of course.

More specifically, we’re talking about vegan ranch, because it turns out, you don’t need buttermilk or eggs to make this iconic condiment delicious. In fact, not only can you buy creamy, zesty vegan ranch by the bottle, but you can also stock up on addictive vegan ranch-flavored snacks.

Keep reading to discover some of our favorite vegan ranch products. And, of course, we’ve included a few of our favorite vegan recipes to make with ranch (because it’s us, and we couldn’t resist).

The best brands for vegan ranch

Daiya

1 Daiya

Canadian brand Daiya has long been a pioneer of the dairy-free food industry, so, of course, alongside its popular cheeses and desserts, it has plenty of vegan dressings in its lineup. Made with chickpeas, its creamy, tangy Homestyle Ranch is one of the best. One Amazon reviewer called this dressing “addictive,” and said it’s “so good, you’ll want to dip everything into it.” Agreed.

Follow Your Heart

2 Follow Your Heart

Another long-standing plant-based favorite, Follow Your Heart is probably best-known for its Vegenaise (and for good reason). But don’t skip over the ranch next time you’re in the condiment aisle. Not only is it creamy, thick, and just the right mix of herby and tangy, but it’s also made with better-for-you ingredients and is a source of omega-3 fatty acids.

The Clorox Company

3 Hidden Valley

Hidden Valley is the OG ranch brand. Seriously, back in the 1950s, founder Steve Henson was running a dude ranch when he started serving his guests his own salad dressing recipe. People loved it so much, Henson decided to bottle it and sell it, and Hidden Valley Ranch was born. In 2021, to the joy of plant-based eaters everywhere, the iconic brand added Plant Powered Ranch to the lineup.

Only Plant Based

4 Only Plant Based

The clue is in the name: unlike Hidden Valley, Only Plant Based offers only vegan condiments. The Thousand Island and Caesar dressings are both well worth a try, but we’re here to talk about the ranch. And we’re pleased to report it’s just as good as the original, with the right blend of creamy and zesty. One Amazon reviewer even described it as the “best darn vegan ranch I’ve ever had, including both store-bought and homemade.”

Primal Kitchen

5 Primal Kitchen

Primal Kitchen was founded more than a decade ago with the aim of bringing paleo-friendly, ancestral products into the mainstream. Since then, it has expanded to offer more plant-based options, including this avocado oil-based plant-based ranch. This particular product is ideal for those who prefer their ranch a little thinner and less creamy in texture, while still packing in bold zesty, herby flavors.

Forget Doritos, Good Eat’n (founded by NBA legend Chris Paul) is arguably superior in every way. Not only are the brand’s chips vegan and free of artificial flavors, but they also come in a range of creative flavors, like Big Dill Ranch. Expect a strong, bold, herbaceous kick, with just the right amount of tang.

Daiya

7 Vegan chicken, bacon, and ranch flatbread

Daiya’s back. This time, its popular, perfectly creamy ranch sauce makes up the base of its crispy flatbread, and it works beautifully. The vegan chicken and bacon pieces are juicy and tender, while vegan mozzarella brings all the cheesy goodness.

Hippeas

8 Baked ranch puffs

Hippeas’ classic cheese puffs are hard to beat, but these Rockin’ Ranch Pea Puffs give it a good go. They’re light, airy, and full of that classic ranch flavor. Just a warning: they’re hard to stop eating once you start. One Amazon reviewer called them “bags of delicious healthy fun.” We can’t argue with that.

Jackson’s

9Farmhouse ranch sweet potato chips

Not a tortilla chip fan? Jackson’s Sweet Potato Chips, fried in avocado oil, have an excellent amount of crunch. Plus, in its Farmhouse Ranch flavor, the ranch tang pairs well with the potato’s sweetness. These are worth buying in bulk, because they’re guaranteed to be a household favorite.

Biena

10 Ranch roasted chickpeas

Sure, nuts are great, but have you ever had roasted chickpeas? They’re just as crunchy and satisfying, and they’re packed with protein and fiber, too. For delicious ranch flavor, check out Biena’s Rockin’ Ranch Chickpea Snacks. They’re tasty right out of the bag, of course, but they also work well as a salad topper, too.
