Ranch Dressing

A delicious sauce or dressing made from yogurt, mayonnaise, and herbs, which can be used in salads and wraps, drizzled over vegetable and meat dishes, or served as a dip for fresh cut vegetables. In America, for example, it is often served as a side with seasoned baked chicken wings. The preparation is quick and easy, and you can also make the dressing in advance, as it gets even better when the flavors fully develop over time.
