With ranch as our favorite salad dressing, it's a wonder this recipe hasn't shown up here until now. In all honesty, it's taken me
this long to veer away from using (organic) seasoning packets to making it 100% raw and from scratch. Not only does this dressing contain wince-free ingredients such as essential, nourishing fats to help your body absorb the valuable nutrients from the salad, it's packed full of probiotics to help aid digestion, strengthen immunity, and give it that tongue-dancing tang. Let's not forget to mention the many benefits of
raw apple cider vinegar,
Celtic sea salt, and immune-boosting fresh garlic. I don't know why I was so gun-shy about making this dressing, it really only takes five minutes to assemble and those lovely probiotics allow this ranch to last a couple of weeks in the fridge (if you don't run out of it first).
Creamy, Probiotic-Rich Ranch Dressing
Makes 3 cups
- 1 cup créme fraiche (made with raw cream is best)
- 1 1/2 cups kefir (made with raw milk is best)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons parsley (fresh or dried)
- 2 Tablespoons green onions or chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon minced dill, fresh or dried (optional)
Place all ingredients in a quart-sized mason jar, screw the lid on, and shake until combined.
Enjoy!
