Can I make vegan ranch dip by blending silken tofu with vegan ranch dressing?

I am severely allergic to cow's milk. I found some bottled vegan ranch dressing and I want to make vegan ranch dip for a party. Can I take the dressing and blend in some silken tofu to make it thicker? Do you think the tofu would weaken the flavors enough that I would need to add more spices? Thanks!!

Update:

I got the dressing at our local natural food store. The company that makes it is called OrganicVille and the dressing is certified organic and Vegan. The company's website is www.organicvillefoods.com.

Update 2:

The only ranch mixes we have found have milk in them. Even the store brands. Here in the northeast, we don't have Kroger's. But thanks for the suggestion.

    Sure you can add some garlic, even add some chopped onion or green onions before blending

    I don't know but this is a pretty good vegan ranch dressing.

    Vegan Ranch Dressing

    vegan, makes a good tub-ful for dipping and drizzling

    1 heaping Tbsp Veganaise

    1 1/2 heaping Tbsp's Vegan Sour Cream

    2-3 tsp agave syrup or honey

    2 tsp red wine vinegar

    2 tsp lemon juice

    1/2 tsp lemon zest

    1 tsp black pepper

    dash of paprika

    dash of garlic powder

    1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

    1 tsp chopped fresh parsley

    optional: dash of cayenne (spicy flavor addition)

    To Make:

    Simply whip all the ingredients together with a fork or whisk.

    Chill until ready to serve!

    Yum.

    Notes:

    *The ingredients are loosely measured. You may want to add more or less of a certain item to reflect your personal Ranch cravings and tastes.

    *both veganaise and Sour Cream were Follow Your Heart brands.

    *there should be enough salt in this recipe. But you can always do a taste test and tweet certain ingredients as you desire.

    *for a thinner dressing, substitute some of the sour cream with a fruity olive oil. and more vinegar.

    That probably wouldn't turn out well. You could try ahead of time though.

    I use tofutti better than sour cream, and mix it with ranch powder mix. The generic brands usually have no milk in them. I use kroger store brand. You could probably use the silken tofu with the powder.

Or, flow the internet website of the restraunt your going to, and verify over components earlier. It fairly relies upon on the dressing, some are vegan, at the same time as others (like ranch) are not. greater useful to air on the fringe of warning, once you flow out to consume ask for oil and vinegar as a replace of dressing. once you purchase dressing on the keep, examine over components, or purchase a dressing it fairly is vegan. of direction. :) Accidently slipping up occurs, your nonetheless a vegan, and you would be a vegan day after today too. do no longer hassle approximately it, it became an twist of destiny, basically study out of your adventure--it is going to no longer be able to be helped/replaced now. i'm hoping I helped you! :D
