1-Okay, friends, making this ranch hummus is as easy as it gets, and it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. First, gather all your ingredients and toss them into a high-quality blender or food processor for that smooth, creamy result.

2-Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas to reduce sodium and get a clean base use low-sodium cans if you’re watching your intake. Then, add in the 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 1/2 tablespoons oil or water, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 2 teaspoons dried dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt, plus that optional 1/4 cup nutritional yeast if you want extra cheesiness.

3-Blend everything on high until it’s completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to make sure it’s even. Taste and adjust the seasoning, maybe adding a bit more salt or vinegar to hit that perfect ranch flavor. Once it’s done, transfer it to a bowl, garnish with things like chopped parsley or a drizzle of olive oil, and serve it up chilled or right away.
