Here is an easy recipe from my friend Shonna Steppe for homemade ranch dressing you can make and keep for the week. It’s super easy and it is a healthier alternative to store bought ranch. If you can’t understand the ingredients on the side of your food, why put it in your body. Here is a list of the ingredients. I think they are pretty easy to understand, but remember that no preservatives means it will go bad after 4-6 days. This is not your standard sit-in-the-fridge-for-7-months-and-still-be-edible dressing.
- 1 egg yolk
- 8oz Grapeseed or Olive Oil
- 1 T Dijon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/8 cup Agave or Honey
- Pinch of Cayenne
- Salt and Pepper
Blend everything in a food processor or blender. Hand chop the chives and parsley and mix in by hand. One cool thing you can do to get nice thin pieces of carrot, zucchini, or cucumber is to use a peeler. This creates nice ribbons of veg. Chill before serving. Enjoy.
