Recipe Notes
As mentioned, mentioned that ranch dressing is normally a dairy (with fat!) based recipe. However, using alternatives such as Greek Yogurt, Vegan plant-based milk (soy, unsweetened almond etc) and we will use a vegan mayonnaise that is also lower in fat, we can make this a Mediterranean diet-friendly ranch dressing.
I also mentioned that the seasonings used in this recipe are also important.
