Garden Party Dairy-Free Ranch Dip

In our final blog post this week for #Allergyweek, we have some dairy free (and gluten free) ranch dip!  We also rounded up some Allergy friendly recipes from other sites that we pinned to our new Allergy Pinterest Board. Check it out here.

Whether you have a dairy allergy, or are lactose intolerant, it’s great to have substitutes! In fact, 30-50 MILLION people in the United States alone are lactose intolerant! That’s a lot of people going without cheese and yogurt!  But when you have to suffer from the pain associated with trying to digest lactose, it’s better to just find a good substitute. Especially where kids are affected, you want them to be able to enjoy food without it making them ill.

Although we don’t have a milk allergy in my house, we often make our ranch dressing without milk.  Ranch dressings and dips are my kids favorite way to eat any salad or vegetable.  Store bought seasoning packets often have ingredients we don’t need- like MSG!  Not to mention, the traditional way to make ranch dip includes milk!  But making it with a milk substitute literally tastes just as good, according to my kids.  We made this ranch dip with some nayonaise (you can use Mayonnaise), soy milk, and the seasonings (full recipe below)

Our skewered veggie pots were super simple! We didn’t bother making any flower shapes or designs. We simply skewered a variety of veggies, and kept them standing straight up by puncturing them into half a lemon in the bottom of our clean flower pot.

Then, we filled the “soil” with some chopped broccoli.
