Perfectly Pomegranate Dressing

Perfectly Pomegranate Dressing

Ok so you know you’ve created a keeper when your child literally drinks a whole jar of dressing when your not looking right after she just finished 3 bowls of salad. No Joke! Let’s just say we’ve taken new measures to prevent such an incident from happening again, lol. The 3 bowls of salad previous however, were indeed big drops in my happy bucket that day.

So many of our favourite recipes from before we went nutritarian contained good old full fat ranch dressing. Whether it was on a salad, in a sandwich, or as dip for veggies, ranch was a mainstay in our home. I had a goal of recreating a collection of our favourite dressings and ranch was a top priority. It was no surprise though that it is the one that has taken me the longest to create. We hope you enjoy this full flavoured nutritarian style, guilt free Ranch Dressing as much as we do. Share it with your kids on a beautiful green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots, as a fun dip for veggies or with our Favourite FishTaco’s! Print Ranch Dressing (Nutritarian) From: Mommy Kristi   After many tweaks and taste tests, we have created a ranch style dressing that we are satisfied with, not just because it tastes good but because it is essentially guilt free.
