MOM ... THIS DRESSING IS REALLY GOOD. That's all I needed, the affirmation from a teenager on what I already knew. This is a demographic that is brutally honest, after all. This mock Ranch Dressing is one I've made for years and restarted the habit of keeping it in the fridge recently. It's shockingly made from soft silken tofu found in that box at your grocer, typically in the shelf stable aisle. What is amazing about it is that you can take relatively simple and healthy ingredients and make this familiar taste profile that will keep you and your kids coming back for more. The best part is that it will fit into your healthy-eating agenda. You truly need to try it to believe how good it is. And when you do wow your guests - and you will ... do what I do and keep your mouth shut. No one but you and I need know what's in this nor why all of a sudden you're reaching for the 'Ranch'! xoxo Anupy

Thank you for the recipe. It was good, but I found it MUCH too salty for our palette. Will make again, but will definitely cut the salt by at least half.
