Howdy class! How did it go last week? Any questions? No? Perfect! The second thing I wanted to tackle in my American classics series is dressings: a.k.a. the real reason people eat salad. One dressing people really love is ranch. But this one is a tough one for the vegans, especially for those who just are giving up dairy and need a good fix. I made this recipe as a salad course during one of my Wildflower pop-ups — it was a hit. I hope it's a hit in your home as well.
