Homemade Ranch Dressing

A delicious way to get beneficial bacteria into your family’s diet.

Here’s a Ranch dressing you can feel good about feeding to your family. This probiotic-rich, yogurt-based dressing is a delicious way to add beneficial bacteria to your family’s diet.

Store-bought Ranch dressing may be convenient, but you might be shocked by the list of flavour enhancers, sugar, unhealthy fat and fillers that go into it. When it comes to nutrition, nothing beats making your own. This homemade Ranch dressing relies on only natural ingredients for flavour. With homemade cultured dairy as a gut-nurturing creamy base, you’ll get healthy fat and protein in every serve.

If you fancy a bit of extra spice, a sweeter finish or an umami dimension we provide a few simple additions to experiment with.
