This homemade Southwestern Ranch Dressing has a delicious kick and tastes great on a salad or as a dip!
Just as promised, here is my favorite Southwestern Dressing to go with yesterday’s Southwestern Salad! This is a Southwestern Ranch Dressing to be exact and it’s absolutely divine!
My husband and I are on calorie watch, so we made sure to use low fat mayo and low fat sour cream. I’d never made any kind of dressing before, so I was super nervous as to how it would turn out and if the low fat stuff would ruin the consistency. It actually surprised us both and ended up being way better than we were expecting!
