Easy Keto Ranch Dressing
Ranch dressing is extremely easy to make and so much better than the store-bought version. It tastes better and doesn't have any unhealthy additives and preservatives. It's ready in just a few minutes and you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week. I didn't use any buttermilk to make this dressing even more keto-friendly. I like using it in salads or as a dip for vegetables and crispy chicken drumsticks. You will never need to buy the bottled version again!
