I LOVE ranch dressing, especially with veggies, on chicken, home made chicken tenders, crackers... when I was little I use to squeeze my Italian bread into cubes and dip it in, put it on sandwiches, burgers, EVERYTHING! But those days are gone haha, thankfully so, and it can be challenging to find a ranch dressing that is both delicious, good for you, and dairy free... and if you're like me... olive oil and balsamic is delish on a lot of salads but can get old and it's fun to make new dressings. I'm trying to limit and avoid dairy, especially commercial pasteurized dairy when I can, and I wanted to make chicken ranch tacos tomorrow so got to playing around in the kitch and put this together... can be used as a dip, dressing, or to cook with! Hope you love it! :)
