Upgraded Ranch Dressing (aka Dump Ranch)

All right, I did it. I went Whole30 for the entire month of January. I liked it so much I’m keeping up with some of the tricks I used throughout the month, but adding in chickpeas, natural sugars (like honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar), and alcohol on special occasions (like a date night). The dairy and grains can stay out of my way for now.

One of my favorite new recipes is this healthier ranch dressing recipe. It’s dairy-free and delicious. Because I like to give credit where credit is due, I found the original recipe here. I’ve tweaked it (shocker) in a way that works best for me.

I put this stuff on just about everything, from burger bowls to Greek bowls, to using as a dip for my homemade taquitos. One batch lasts about a week at our house. It’s a hit with everyone. I think your family will love it too!
