Homemade Dressings

Did you know that most dressings are super simple to make and most, if not all of the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen?! Here are two of our family favorites that have replaced their store-bought companions.

Ranch Dressing
1 1/4cup mayo*
1 1/4 cup sour cream*
1 1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp dried parley
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
- - - Place all ingredients in a quart sized glass jar and shake well to combine. Add more milk if the dressing is too thick. Refrigerate for several hours for best flavor.
*NOTE: Plain greek yogurt may be substituted for some or all of the mayo and sour cream for a more healthy version. Keep fresh in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Coleslaw Dressing
1 1/2 cup mayo*
1/2 cup white sugar
2-3 Tbsp white vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
- - - Mix well using a wire whisk before adding to your favorite cabbage blend. Start by adding just half of the dressing then add more as needed after refrigerating the salad. Store any remaining dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
*NOTE: Plain greek yogurt may be substituted for some or all of the mayo for a more healthy version.
