This creamy yogurt ranch dressing is so easy to make, and it will make your kids want to actually EAT their veggies!...at least mine did. 🙂

I probably go to the grocery store 2-3 times each week...is that nuts or what??

I buy a lot of fresh produce, so that's the preponderance of my purchases.

Typically, I make daily salads, and my girls have recently been enjoying them with me. They're 11 and 9 now and developing a more mature palate, which equals a greater appreciations for veggies!

Today's dressing (along with a yet unposted Caesar) is their favorite accompaniment to a bowl o' greens!

As the title says, yogurt is the base of this dressing, though I've also used kefir with great results.

The yogurt mixed with a small amount of mayo makes for a terrific ranch dressing that's way better than that hidden valley something or other.

Combine the above with a few herbs and you have one tasty salad topper!

This recipe actually helps my kids eat more vegetables, since it can also double as a dip.

If that's not a selling point, I don't know what is.

We have made this recipe many times over the years, and Jade will even make it on her own.

She has a great technique in that she first takes a slice of sourdough bread and makes her own croutons. Then, she prepares a batch of this dressing. Finally, she tosses the aforementioned with a handful of greens, some chopped chicken, and a big sprinkle of grated parmesan.

It's delicious!
