Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Dressing in Disguise

The thing about this wonderful salad dressing is, well it’s not just for salads. Think about it. How many ways can you use ranch dressing? Unbelievably, I really enjoy using it over steamed vegetables.

And the thing I like most about this recipe is that it is a much lower calorie version than many – still very flavorful and so very fresh tasting.

Like all homemade dressings, make up a batch and store in the refrigerator for about a week, stirring before every use. This recipe makes about 2 cups. Enjoy!
