Dairy Free Jalapeno Ranch Dip Recipe for Game Day Snacks

I’ve never been a huge fan of football. I’m the type of person who will watch because everyone else is watching, and I basically have no other choice if I don’t want to sulk off on my own. (Which I’m also totally fine doing.) Typically, my game day activity is reserved for the Superbowl. And that’s mostly to watch the ads. Although, these days, I often catch them the next day on Hulu. I did happen to watch an interesting college football game recently though. It was a Gators game. Just before halftime, things basically exploded into what looked like a hockey match, and I admit, I was entertained.

That said, I can always appreciate game day snacks. Chips and dip are probably my favorite game day snack idea. They’re quick and easy, and everyone is a fan. Unfortunately, even easy game day snacks ideas can come with challenges. It’s not uncommon to know someone who has dietary restrictions. Whether it’s by choice, for personal or health reasons, or by necessity due to an allergy.

My mom, for example, has become increasingly lactose intolerant as she’s aged. And me, well, dairy triggers my eczema even as an adult.

My diary free jalapeno ranch dip recipe is an easy game day snack idea that takes the guesswork out of finding an option that suits everyone. Not only is it vegan friendly, it’s also gluten and dairy free.

While ranch seasoning mix typically contains buttermilk and calcium lactate, there are dairy free ranch mix alternatives you buy. Alternately, I also provide a recipe for you to make your own dairy free ranch seasoning mix. To compensate for the omission of milk products in my jalapeno ranch dip, this dairy free game day snack recipe uses a combination of coconut milk and vegenaise. (You can also use regular mayonnaise if this dip doesn’t need to be vegan.) There are a number of vegenaise options you can buy from the grocery store to make my jalapeno ranch dip recipe. Alternately, you can also make your own vegan mayo.
