Store-bought dressings and condiments are often packed with unhealthy ingredients and preservatives — and they can be quite expensive, too. That's why I prefer making my own, like this Avocado Ranch Dressing. It's a tasty twist on traditional ranch dressings. Using goat milk kefir and benefit-rich avocados makes this dressing super creamy and packs it with healthy fats and probiotics.
Not only is this avocado ranch dressing delicious atop salads, it's wonderful used as a dipping sauce for my gluten-free Buffalo Chicken Tenders or raw veggies, as a spread in sandwiches and wraps, or as a topper for my Sweet Potato Tacos. Once you see how easy it is to prepare, you'll never purchase dressing again!
