homemade "suddenly salad" (bacon ranch)
(3 ratings)
I used to love this stuff from the box mix years ago, then my grocery store stopped carrying it. I had to think fast! Came up with my own homemade version, and it's even better! (Not kidding, it really is!) And now I can have it whenever I want! ;) I don't know if this is actually healthier, but at least I can pronounce all of the ingredients! ;) :D (OLD photo by me) New updated photo added!
