Silken Tofu Creamy Ranch Dressing
Ranch Dressing and Homemade Chipotle Sauce are relatively new in my place. Plan to pair this yum dressing with Veggie Quesadilla Recipe next time.
Secondly, this silken tofu was in my fridge for ages. In fact, I was about to bin it as I did not know what to make out of it and I happened to stumble on this delightful low-calorie dressing.

Since it is tofu that the kiddo generally refuses to eat I am happy to include this in our diet masked. She did not know Tofu was the star ingredient.
The other salad dressings/ additions that I have tried are
Homemade Russian Dressing
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Homemade Pickle Relish
Tomato and Peanut Relish for Zambia
This dressing is adapted from here.
