Herbed Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing

April 15, 2016 by Karen Giebel 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Making your own salad dressings from scratch is easy. What will blow you away is how incredibly delicious they are and also how quick they are to put together. My Herbed Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is no exception. It is absolutely jammed packed with flavor! And, there are no chemicals or preservatives which give many bottled dressings that slightly “off” taste. I’m certain you’ll like it better than store bought. It’s Spring and we’re heading into salad season and this is a great start!

This just makes me so hungry.
