Ranch is the only dressing that I can get my picky-eater, Griffin, to touch, but I’ve had a hard time finding a bottled version that meets both my taste and health expectations. So I started playing around with a few ingredients in the kitchen. The result is this creamy, ranch-like dressing that kind of goes with everything. I’m also happy because it’s free from fillers and that preservative aftertaste, and my picky tasting panel gave it three thumbs up!
