Low Sugar Vegan Veggie Sticks with Ranch
Crisp, colorful veggie sticks paired with a creamy, herb-forward ranch dip — this is the kind of snack that genuinely earns its place on the table. The dip is built on a base of blended soaked cashews, which creates a remarkably smooth and rich texture without any dairy or added sweeteners sneaking in. Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion, dill, and parsley do all the heavy lifting, delivering that classic tangy ranch flavor you crave from nothing but real, whole ingredients. Store-bought dips and dressings are notorious for hiding sugar in the ingredient list, so making your own means you know exactly what you're dipping into. The carrots, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper bring natural sweetness and satisfying crunch that balance the savory, herby dip perfectly. A quick chill in the fridge lets the flavors come together and the dip thicken up just right before serving. Whether you're putting out a snack board for guests or just need something fresh and filling to get through the afternoon, this one delivers every time.

For the ranch dip

- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the veggie sticks
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 3 stalks celery, cut into sticks

- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Instructions
- 1
Soak the cashews in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and discard the soaking water.
- 2
Add the drained cashews, water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The dip should be thick enough to coat a spoon but still pourable — add water 1 tsp at a time if it is too thick.
