My kids were instantly more friendly as soon as I fed them this. My 8 year old no longer fires crossbows in to crowds, what a relief. Thank you food network!

I have watched the “network” for years and this is the first homemade ranch dresing I’ve seen. Love it.

I am going to try this dip out on my 6 yr old today. He is such a picky eater. He will seriously eat salad plain… no dressing…. I keep trying variations of dips and dressings with no success. Even if he doesn’t like it, I can already tell you who will – my husband and myself 🙂

A bit thin for a ‘dip’, but makes a nice dressing. I ended up using it for the dressing in my chicken salad. Nice flavor but too runny for veggies.
Jennifer Watts
This is a very good dip that is so easy to make. I will definitely be making this one again. I made some boneless buffalo wings and put some of this dip on them and they were delicious.
