Five Ways to Use Nest’s Cashew Ranch Dressing

By Elizabeth Woodard | Holistic Nutritionist

Cooking for yourself is one of the healthiest tweaks you can make for your diet, but we know it can be overwhelming! If you don't like cooking because it's time-consuming, stressful, or you don't know what to make - and when you do cook, it's flavorless. Well, don’t worry - we’ve got you!

Condiments are the best way to turn a bland dish into a party in the mouth. Most condiments, even the healthy ones, have hidden sugars and processed oils. Nest’s cashew ranch dressing is made out of fresh herbs (which are antioxidants and detoxifiers), lemon juice (providing immune support), apple cider vinegar (providing digestion support), and cashews (full of brain and bone support).

Here are five ways to use our ranch dressing so that you can have easy, delicious, and nutritious meals:

DIPS //

Nest’s Cashew Ranch is a great snack with veggies, crackers or bread for yourself and your family. It’s perfect as an appetizer when entertaining and easy to bring to a party. Throw it in a blender with jalapeno and avocado and you got yourself a spicy fiesta!

SALAD //

Not everyone loves salads and if you do, most salad dressings contain unhealthy ingredients turning what you thought was a healthy choice into a toxic bomb. Use our ranch as a salad dressing and you will be converted into a salad lover!

SANDWICHES AND WRAPS //

Take two pieces of bread or a wrap; add chicken and/or veggies, slather that ranch all over, and take a bite. You're welcome!

SAUCE FOR PROTEIN //

You have made or bought salmon, chicken, steak, tofu, or beans and don’t know how to make them flavorful. Use Nest’s ranch as a sauce to drizzle on your choice of protein and the plain dish becomes something you look forward to. We love it with baked chicken fingers!

PASTA AND CASSEROLE //

Instead of the sour creams and cheeses that most pasta and casserole dishes call for, throw this ranch in and you have an easy healthy meal you and your family will love!

You can find Nest’s cashew ranch in the grab-and-go refrigerator section at the cafe.
