Daiya’s ranch dressing alternative is…polarizing, to say the least. Either you love it, or you hate it, with almost no in-between. More people tend to like it than not, however! The dressing is creamy, but quite thick and can be difficult to get out of the bottle.

Positive reviews say:

“I am always hesitant about dairy substitutes. If you taste this on its own it is obvious it's not a dairy homestyle ranch, however, on salads or wraps you'd never know the difference. Will purchase again if I can find it in stores.”

…

”Being that I haven't had real ranch, I have to trust the people in my house that do eat ranch, and say the texture and taste are nearly identical (along with the fact that they'll choose to eat it if out of real ranch) But i can confirm the texture seems more natural, and much creamer than other vegan ranch products I've tried.”

…

”The first time I tasted this, I was in love. I feel like as someone who loved ranch on their salads prior to becoming vegan, this is absolutely a wonderful replacement. In ways, it tastes a lot better and creamier!”

Negative reviews say:

“I have tried many different vegan products and there are three that almost NEVER come close to the non-vegan options, that is salad dressings, mayonnaise, and cheese. Based upon the reviews of this product I was very hopeful to have FINALLY found a vegan salad dressing that was not horrible. Unfortunately Daiya Ranch ranks up there with every other vegan cream type dressing in the fact that it is repulsive and disgusting. I can't even explain the taste all I know is that when I tried it on a spinach salad with loads of veggies I literally gagged when the dressing hit my taste buds.”

…

“I tried this when it first debuted and then took a year off it and tried it again. It is honestly the most vile thing. The ranch is nothing close to ranch.”

…

”Honestly has a bit of a weird taste. Its just a little "off" like I expected it to be. On top of that the CONTAINER is SUPER ANNOYING and hard to get anything out once your past the first third or so of the bottle.”
