My go-to salad dressing is ranch. BUT, have you ever read the back of a ranch salad dressing bottle? You cannot even pronounce many of the ingredients listed!

That is what makes this homemade ranch dressing so delish - there are NO unnecessary ingredients and no chemical additives that your body doesn't know what to do with!

Besides the fact that it takes, maybe, like only 4 - 5 minutes to whip up! You can't beat that.

Not to mention the delicious taste of creamy homemade goodness - seriously, you have to to try it!
