March 10th is National Ranch Dressing Day!
Did you know that ranch dressing was invented in the 1950s at a dude ranch in Santa Barbara? Historically it is a buttermilk dressing seasoned with a long list of herbs and spices such as:
- onions
- garlic
- dill
- parsley
- chives
- paprika
- black pepper
Modern recipes use sour cream or yogurt in lieu of buttermilk, but we’re leaving you with a vegan, avocado-based ranch dressing recipe so that everyone can celebrate National Ranch Dressing Day. Serve it with some carrots sticks and cucumber chips for an extra healthy treat.
