I love salad. It is nice as a side dish and great as a meal. One thing I don’t like: store-bought dressing. So many of them have added MSG, excess salt, and preservatives. That is why I prefer to make my favorite salad dressing at home. Ranch dressing is a fridge staple. Now you can throw out that plastic bottle and replace it with this easy ranch dressing recipe. You likely have everything you need in your spice cabinet and refrigerator.
