dip essentials: flexible ranch-like dipping sauce
This is similar to a typical ranch dressing, but I tweaked the ingredients to help it better compliment items such as, chicken wings and veggies. I wanted it ranch-like; however, I wanted to be able to taste the item I was dipping into it. I made this the other day while pulling an all-nighter working on my slow-cooker chicken wings, and thought they needed something more than just buffalo sauce. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
