Salads
Craving a Caesar Salad but worried about the heavy dressing? I’ve got a great alternate that is made with healthy buttermilk, and lovely delicious parmesan cheese with hints of garlic. This dressing has a heavier consistency than a vinaigrette, but lighter than a cream-based one. But it has all the un-compromised tastes of a ranch-type creamy dressing.
I recommend allowing the salad dressing to sit in the fridge for an hour at least to let the flavours infuse.
This salad dressing is ideal for a heavy-lettuce and/or cabbage base salad, a Caesar salad, or even a simple tomato-cucumber and carrot salad.
