This dressing has more color than a traditional creamy white ranch recipe. I like to use fresh herbs, but feel free to substitute dried ones, reducing the measure by half. Besides as an oil-free dressing for salads, you can also use this versatile recipe as a dip served with crudités or as a sandwich spread.

Looks yummy! I wonder how it’d taste with chopped fresh baby spinach instead?

This is a hearty and filling dip. It’s great for sandwiches, too.
