So, I tried this recipe tonight and it turned out super watery. Maybe this is because I used homemade coconut milk? I wonder if the canned stuff with the added Guar Gum makes it thick like regular dressing. I added arrowroot powder to thicken it… but, I didn’t think that arrowroot powder needed to be heated up to make it thicken. It wasn’t working so I slapped it a pot and heated it over medium heat. I apparently had added WAY to much arrowroot powder because it became gooey and not liquidy at all. I tried adding some olive oil- didn’t really work. I tried cold water and that seemed to help a lot. My opinion of this “ranch” is that it is ok in taste, not great, and it is most definitely NOT ranch! I am reminded once again why I have decided not to try to re-create non-paleo eats- it doesn’t work!
