1-2-3 CREAMY DRESSING BASE



1-2-3 Creamy Dressing Base image

Obviously not a light recipe. I plan to experiment with low-fat/fat-free ingredients, but for now this is my go-to dressing recipe. I use this as a base and adjust seasonings and amounts for the vinegar and buttermilk based on the purpose of the dressing (salad, dip, spread). It's a extremely versatile and better than anything we've tried from a jar. Try the Spicy Ranch version as a dip for french fries.

CREAMY DILL DRESSING

This refreshing, easy-to-mix salad dressing scores big with Kathryn Anderson's family and friends in Wallkill, New York. The creamy blend adds big dill flavor to garden-fresh salads, yet it's thick enough to use as a lively dip for raw veggies.
