This kefir ranch dressing recipe<\/strong> is an easy take on an American classic. With a creamy, tart edge and plenty of herbs, this dressing is just as delicious as a dip as it is drizzled over your favorite salad. It's also a great way to incorporate probiotic foods into your family's diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ranch dressing was developed in the 1940s by Steve Henson. By the late 1950s, the dressing had become commercially available and popular. The original dressing combines buttermilk, mayonnaise, and herbs such as parsley, dill, garlic, and chives with onion, mustard, and black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this version, kefir<\/a> replaces the buttermilk. Like buttermilk, kefir tastes creamy with a slightly tart edge.  It's also a great source of live cultures and beneficial bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
