Thanks for this recipe, I will try it soon! I love ranch dressing and it will be nice to not have it so unhealthy. Thanks again, and thanks for this blog!
ReplyDeleteI may just love you FOREVER (I probably will anyway) if I try this and like it. Did you see my oh-so-sad FB post the other day about my nasty salad I brought for lunch using spray salad dressing. It was a nightmare. You can BET I'll be trying this baby out. THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteWe go through ranch pretty quick at our house, so I will be looking forward to giving this one a try!
