You love that Ranch dressing taste, but when you examine the label of commercial Ranch dressing, you’ll see the first ingredient is cheap, industrially-processed seed oil. Yuk! And a whole lot more. Take a look.
You can have your Ranch and eat it, too, if you take just a moment to make it yourself. As always, the best advice: if you make it yourself, you know what’s in it! So try this one made with full, natural dairy and good fats, not soybean and canola oil, and nothing you can’t pronounce.
