Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Why not try Chipotle Ranch Dressing? Just substitute cilantro for the parsley and add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper powder or 1 teaspoon chili powder.

This dressing is not only a tasty tradition for green salads but can also be used as a dip for veggies.

I will admit to being skeptical at first. I've had other healthy ranch dressings that taste terrible. I found that this actually tasted pretty good. Now, it needs a day or two in the frig (not so great within a couple hours) so the flavors can mix, but once they do, I thought it was great with chicken. Now, this is just my opinion, but for a healthy version of ranch, I'll give this a 4.5 (rounded up to 5)!
