Ranch Salad Dressing

This is my favorite Ranch Salad Dressing:

Ranch SALAD Dressing (Level 1)

6 ingredients. 3 minutes to make. So, how can a salad dressing so easy
to prepare be so delicious? Well, it just is. Thick, creamy, and full
of that zesty ranch flavour we all love, you will never go back to
bottled dressing again. This dressing is very versatile. Use it as a
salad dressing, vegetable dip, or even a sauce on your favourite cut
of meat. After a taste of this, I was suddenly filled with an
overriding urge to go round up some cows. Now that's ranch!

Serving Size: 3 cups of salad dressing

Preparation Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's Best Food's Mayonnaise)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender, mix on high speed for
2 minutes, until thouroughly mixed and creamy. It may not seem thick
enough, however, the salad dressing will properly thicken after it is
allowed to chill. Store in an airtight container (such as an old salad
dressing bottle) in the refrigerator for up to two weeks

Enjoy!

Mexican Rollups or Dip

I roll this up in lettuce leaves for lunch, or serve it as a dip with the tomatoes, onions & cheese layered on top.

Mexican Rollups or Dip (Level 1)

1 8 oz package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 tbs chili powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
chopped tomatoes
chopped green onions
Shredded cheese (cheddar, mexican blend, etc)

Mix together the cream cheese, sour cream and spices until well combined. Spread on lettuce leaves, top with chopped tomatoes, green onions and cheese. Roll up and serve.

For a dip, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream and spices until well combined. Transfer to a bowl. Layer chopped tomatoes, green onions and shredded chese on top. Serve with cheese crisps or celery sticks for dipping.

Enjoy!

Spinach Dip

All time favorite appetizer

Spinach Dip (Level 1)

1 package frozen chopped spinach, cooked & very well drained
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh minced parsley
1/2 cup minced green onions, whites only
1/2 teaspoon beau monde seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
salt & pepper to taste

In a bowl mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, parsely, scallions and
spices. Add the sinach and stir thoroughly. Taste for seasoning. Cover
and refrigerate overnight.

I put the sinach dip in the center of a hollowed head of red cabbage,
and serve with a variety of vegetable "dippers" - endive, celery,
cucumber, snow peas, cauliflower, zucchini...

Enjoy!
