Vegan Spicy Ranch Dressing

A perfect vegan ranch dressing to use as a dipping sauce for our delicious and addictive Cauliflower Buffalo Wings. This vegan spicy ranch dressing also makes a rich and creamy vegan salad dressing to use on all your favorite salads and packs a jalapeno and cheddar flavor punch. Cashews are the perfect base to add the creamy texture that is an absolute necessity for any vegan ranch dressing. If you like it extra spicy, feel free to add extra hot sauce or jalapenos to really turn up the heat!
