Homemade Ranch Dressing.... Did you know most ranch dressings contain msg and paint thinners?

  • 1/2 Cup of Smart Balance or Organic Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 Cup of Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Cup of Coconut or Almond Milk
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Small red onion minced
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Dried or fresh chives
  • 1/2 Tsp. Dried or fresh parsley
  • 1/2 Tsp. Dried or fresh dill weed
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • Salt to taste

Add all ingredients together, blend well, let set for an hour or so, serve......

*For a fun twist add some cilantro, avocado, and tabasco..

**Also, do the same for a dip, just do 1 cup of greek yogurt and 1 cup of sour cream or mayonnaise.

Here is what is in your ranch dressing:

Calcium Stearate:  is carboxylate of calcium that is found in some lubricants and surfactants. It is a white waxy powder. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_stearate
