Dipping bowl of herby ranch dressing

Like many people, who make New Year’s Resolutions, I vowed to eat more salads this year. While I like salads, and veggies for that matter, I don’t always like the dressings. To remedy that, I came up with this Herby Ranch Dressing.

Quite frankly, it’s a bit of cheat. I’ll make it with every intention of using it to finish off a crisp garden salad, and then use it for a dipping sauce, proving the old adage warning against making resolutions. For example, last night I served it with hot wings and shishito peppers. (Yep, a far cry from a healthy salad.)

Servings Suggestions

  • Shishito peppers
  • Hot wings

Shishito peppers are grassy, slightly spicy and a perfect accompaniment for this cool, tangy dressing. I simply pan fried them to blister them slightly and then served together.

I also served this with bbq hot wings. Again, delicious and super easy. What a perfect tapas combo.

That’s what makes this dressing so great…you can use it whenever you need a light, tangy, creamy sauce that as the basis for a light meal, appetizers…or even salads.
