Live Free Foods Certified FODMAP Friendly Ranch Dressing
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Live Free Foods. All photos, opinions, thoughts, and recipes are my own.
I will confess that when I was a child I had a love affair with ranch dressing. I had a few flings with Thousand Island dressing because it was a fun and easy, child-friendly recipe to make at home. My love for ranch continued through my time at university where I learned to drizzle it over pizza for an added layer of flavor. Once I started making my own vinaigrettes, ranch and I drifted apart. The certified Low FODMAP ranch dressing by the exciting new company Live Free Foods has rekindled the flame. One of the most exciting things about this dressing from Live Free Foods is that it contains NO xanthan gum! Take a peek at the labels from other brands the next time that you are at the market and you will see that this is exceedingly rare. Beyond that, the taste and texture of this dressing are bar none. This ranch dressing is so thick and creamy that it makes a fantastic dip. As I was prepping for these photos, I couldn’t help but stuff my face with carrot sticks dipped in the ranch. Not a drop dripped! I would definitely put this dressing out with crudité as a delicious, no fuss snack before a dinner party or on game day.
