Creamy Ranch Dressing with Flaxseed
Spring is just around the corner which means sunshine, new blooms, and fresh fruits and veggies are on the horizon! We have an addition to your next vegetable tray, afternoon snack, or hearty salad. This creamy ranch dressing with flaxseed is the perfect fit!
Our take on a classic ranch dressing uses basic ingredients (and flaxseed!) to make a versatile dip or garnish that can compliment almost any meal or snack.
Sure, you can use it to add a creamy tang to your salad, but ranch is also a great compliment to salty snacks like pretzels (don’t knock it ‘til you try it!), the sauce-less edges on a pizza crust, or savory meals like nachos.
Make this dressing your own by adding fresh chopped chives or dill — or add a dash of hot sauce or sriracha for a spicy twist! This recipe uses regular mayonnaise and low-fat buttermilk, so you may have slightly different results if you use low fat mayonnaise or full-fat buttermilk. However, this dressing is pretty forgiving, so you will likely find that whatever you have on hand works well too!
