Need a delicious salad with a homemade, vegan dressing? Look no further! This Radicchio Salad with Vegan Ranch Dressing is fit for a weeknight or a dinner party side.
A vegan buttermilk ranch dressing – that’s whole-food, plant based – and delicious? Yes, yes, and yes. This creamy dressing might be the answer you’ve been looking for all this time. It’s become a favorite at our house. 
This time of year, it’s a fantastic addition to a holiday dinner celebration.
Of course, you can use this recipe to dress any salad greens you like, and I can tell you from experience that heirloom tomatoes (in the summer) are an especially nice addition, but here’s just how very simply we made this salad work for us last night!
