Ranch is one of the all-time favourite salad dressings and dips. Since Ackee Mayo is a thing, then naturally Ackee Ranch should also be a thing. This vegan ranch dressing will satisfy your craving. Ackees lend their silky texture to the dressing and also help with a bit of emulsifying.
Check out the Cauli Budz Keeza to see how I incorporated it on a vegan pizza! Ranch dressing usually has buttermilk added for a bit of tang, here I’ve used soy milk with a bit of vinegar. When the vinegar is added to the soy it thickens up much like dairy buttermilk would. If you’re not a fan of soy, feel free to use another dairy-free milk substitute (coconut milk would be nice and thick, it would however impart a bit of coconut flavor in the dressing which may not be a bad thing depending on what you’re going for).

Notes
Ackee Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Parboiled ackee;
- 2 tsps Lemon Juice use vinegar if you want a tangier mayo;
- 2 tbsps Oil use something mild in flavour, I used canola;
- 1 tsp Grainy mustard optional (I like the texture);
- 1/4 tsp to 1 tsp Dry ground mustard;
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a small blender cup or food processor, combine ackees, lemon juice or vinegar, oil and grainy mustard if using
- Pulse a few times till combined, you may notice that the mayo looks like its going to break, this is where the mustard powder comes in, it will at as an emulsifier and hold it all together
- Start adding the ground mustard 1/4 tsp at a time until emulsified, thick and smooth. Though it may seem a bit loose it will thicken up a bit more as it sits
- Enjoy!
