I was skeptical to make this for my family, as they are not big fans of raw spinach. Much to my surprise, they came back for seconds. The dressing is made the night before and is poured over the salad just before serving . Thanks to my good friend Carol for sharing this fabulous recipe. […]

Ranch Salad Dressing
This ranch dressing is creamy, has just the right seasoning and is downright delicious. Best of all, it doesn’t have a bunch of strange ingredients that you can barely pronounce. My sister Joan shared this recipe years ago and I haven’t purchased bottled ranch dressing ever since.

Fluffy, fruiting, nutty and refreshing is how I describe this luscious salad. It’s easy to put together and it’s been a success at every get together I brought this to.
