This recipe was passed on the my from my friend Cory. It is great on salad but would also be awesome as a dipping sauce if you’re in one of those ‘ranch’ moods and just need a little extra creaminess in your life. Thanks Cory!

Makes 2 cups

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon dried chives (fresh is best if you can get them)
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried sage (I didn’t use this but you can add it back in if you like it)
1 cup whole, raw macadamia nuts
1/3 cup cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Soak macadamia nuts in warm water for as long as possible to make the ranch smoother.  Blend all of the ingredients ina food processor until very smooth. add water to achieve desired consistency.

keeps for 1 week, refrigerated in an air-tight container.
