Tangy Salad Dressing

Salad Dressing

I used to be a ranch girl. ALL.THE.WAY

What was the point of eating a salad without slatering it with Ranch?

No ranch? No salad.

Well you see, that thought process was ohhhh, about 10 years ago when I actually had this now mythical thing called a metabolism.

With old ago, I have smartened up.

As much as I still love love love ranch, I had to quit it.

I don’t do store brand dressing.

Something about store bought salad dressing, just tastes off to me.

I have tried all the brands, and I’m not a fan of any of them.

Making your own is super simple, you can either mix it up in a blender of right in a bowl and I bet you already have all of the ingredients sitting right in your pantry already.

If you like tangy, full of life salad dressing, this one is for you!

  4. Love this!!! I do both store bought and homemade dressing…but moving towards more homemade. 🙂

  5. I’m with ya on the whole store bought dressing situation, there are only a couple that I actually like. This dressing looks right up my alley though, so I’ll definitely be giving it whirl!

  6. This looks like it has just about the right amount of tangy. I will definitely have to try it!

    Ooh! Now I’m craving a big ole salad with this liberally tossed on top.

  10. What a gorgeous shot, Leslie!! I don’t do store-bought dressings either. This one sounds delish!

  11. I should probably switch to this dressing too. I looove ranch, and it has to be Hidden Valley brand. My sister got me into dipping pizza into ranch, and me and my thighs hate her for it!
