Must have Dairy Free Products
I have a love hate relationship with dairy free products/substitutes. I have a few I really like and keep stocked in my kitchen. For any newbies out there trying dairy free products you need to hear this…. “It is never going to taste the same as your favorite dairy product”. Some will get close and most will fail your taste pallet miserably. I’m sorry to break it to you. I will list some of my absolute favorites and some tales of caution.
The thing about a dairy free product is that it works differently in your food. I have a favorite ranch but I typically do not use it on a salad. However, it makes a great dip. This tends to be the theme with most dairy free products in my opinion.

Runner Up: Hidden Valley Plant Base Ranch (can find in most grocery stores)
Uses:
- Wings
- Dipping Vegetables like Celery or Cucumbers
- A base to make other dips
They Recently came out with a creamy version and I will use this in salads. Doesn’t compare to homemade dairy ranch but it is the closest I’ve found so far.
