Homemade dressings are awesome, because their flavors are so fresh and rich. It really does make a huge difference in flavor. Italian and Ranch Dressing Recipes are easy to make as mixes to keep until you are ready to use them. I mix all the dry ingredients in zip close bags and keep them until I ‘m ready to make the dressing or dip. Then, all I need to do is add the vinegar and oil, or mayonnaise and yogurt.
