I thought I wasn't really into ranch dressing. But, I think I just don't like the idea of it. Especially the non-vegan that is made of a variety of dairy products all mixed together. However, the Follow Your Heart Vegan Ranch has given my a new outlook on ranch. Its incredible. Its vegan, creamy, filled with herbs and flavor. And I've been putting it in and on everything. And today I thought I'd share my current favorite vegan ranch recipe: Quick, Creamy Ranch Chickpea Salad.
