I remember when I was in college I used to buy some mainstream ranch dressing that was accidentally vegan. I went to the store this morning and couldn't find it, I can't remember the brand. This morning I looked at Kraft, Wishbone, Stop and Shop, and Ken's and none were vegan. Maybe the formulas change per region or something? I def am not imagining this because I remember grocery shopping out of town on my way home from a cross race (I love different grocery stores) and picking some up and that was pretty recent - like December 2012. Help a fellow out?

I ended up getting Organicville ranch and it's not good! Not tangy enough and the consistency is too thin.

I like Organicville, put it in the fridge to thinking it up.

I swear the Hidden Valley Ranch was vegan for a few years way back when, too! I think it's Simply Organic that makes a dill dip or whatnot that tastes pretty ranchy...

Hidden Valley Ranch did have a vegan packet to make it yourself ages ago. I was so sad when they changed that.

They still sell the packets- was it a certain one?

Uncle Dan's is vegan! Tis a packet and so good in mashed potatoes.

I remember they added milk to the one I used to buy. But I haven't looked at them in years so I can't remember details!

They have a Ranch Salad Dressing packet that has buttermilk, but there's a Ranch Dip one that's vegan.

Naw this was bottle ranch dressing.

Sorry this is not helpful, but I concur that the Organicville ranch is awful!

Its so gross!

This really can't be said often enough.

Organicville is kind of bad. Watery, too! You gotta get your hands on that FYH ranch. SO good!

I've never found a bottled one I liked. I just make Sanctuary dressing and bottle the hell outta it

The Simply Natural Goddess dressing is the closest thing I've tasted to a vegan ranch. It's a Annie's copycat, but is thicker. I think it might only be available in Canada though?

Oh yeah, the Annie's Goddess dressing is good. Not exactly ranch, but works in ranch-type situations. The only weird thing is that Annie's makes more than one variety of Goddess dressing and I think one of them isn't vegan? Confusing...

Yepp, that exactly. Unfortunately, the store brands that I've seen have copied the non-vegan one so yay for buying the most expensive one. I just buy Drew's because it's cheaper.

I buy the penzeys ranch mix and mix it with vegenaise and soymilk and silken tofu and I think it's pretty good.
