Garden Salad with Healthy Ranch

I am eating more and more salads and loving every bite! I can easily get in my daily healthy greens and veggies without feeling like it's a chore! Plus it's easy on my tummy and never makes me feel weighed down or sluggish. I make a batch of this delicious vegan ranch and use through the week.
2-3 cups kale/spinach/shredded cabbage
1 peeled carrot
1 ear sweet corn
1/2 cup green beans
1/2 cup grilled chicken
1 Tbs pepitas
1 Tbs raisins
1 Tbs hemp hearts
Vegan Ranch Dressing
1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight)
3/4- 1 cup coconut milk (I like this clean option Thai Kitchen https://amzn.to/3Avj0gY)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp dried dill
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp onion powder (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Blend all in high powered blender https://amzn.to/3KpOqtT, store in refrigerator will thicken over time. Use as a dip or thin with a little water as needed. For more healthy dressings check out my dips/dressings/sauces guide found in Recipes!
