Are you looking for a healthier way to serve dressing, yet easy? How about freezer style? I’ve adapted this easy recipe by making a double or triple batch and stowing the herbs in your freezer for fresh ranch dressing any time. It’s made with refrigerator staples and you’ll never have to run to the store (unless you run out of mayo or milk).
Enjoy ranch on everything knowing there’s no MSG, additives or preservatives. For optimal flavor, I suggest buying your herbs in bulk. I purchase mine at Earthfare and smell and taste the difference between cheaper spices that are .99 per container. I still use the cheap spices for other freezer cooking, but I like the freshest herbs for homemade dressings, like this one. Make sure the powder and herbs are well distributed before using.
