  1. I was looking for something exactly like this, fresh and something new for us to try with chips later today. We’re having a movie night with my lady. I wanted to surprise her. And she absolutely loves dips to add to the experience. Plus, there won’t be any fancy chemicals in this one like with most others we can buy in stores. And I think that’s the best bit about it. I really appreciate the recipe.

    Also, I had no idea about the origins of this. I will check that story out. Thank you!!! 🙂

    1. I love making these types of recipes at home for exactly the reason you stated here…you know exactly what’s in it!  I also love the stories behind foods so I hope you enjoy this one.

  2. First things first, I have never had ranch dressing, is it any good? I am always scared to try out new ingredients as I love my comfort zone. Would you recommend it to anyone? I will be sure to try out this recipe.  At first, I want to try one from the shops just to see if I will like it or not. 

    1. Ranch dressing is a favorite in my house and is very popular in the US.  I think it would be a great idea to request a bit of ranch dressing (on the side) the next time you’re in a restaurant to see if you like it.  Let me know!
