Dairy Free Ranch Dressing?

[MAKmom]

Any ideas on a Dairy free RANCH type dressing. Hidden Valley is full of MSG so I can't use it. Mayo is not Dairy so it can be used. Thank you

Do you have a vegan area in your grocery store? We have one in ours and I know they had all sorts of dressings and such, maybe they would have something?

I have found organic Ranch & older DD did not like It or Paul Newmans with dairy. She can eat dairy...but I try not to have it in the house because of DD9. Older DD will not eat salads now.. which drives me crazy.

There is a recipe for homemade ranch dressing in the latest "Joy of Cooking"...as I remember it calls for mayo and sour cream or yogurt...but there are non dairy subs for those. Is younger DD just lactose intolerant, or does she need to be casein free ? Can she tolerate soy ? If she can tolerate soy and/or casein there are loads of good subs for the sour cream or any milk.

I know for sure she is lactose intolerant. I think it may be more with the Dairy. After a few days eating lactad Milk in cereal her stomach pains started. SHe can eat 1 bite of pizza & get pains. If she pulls the cheese of its ok. She does great with soy.
