Housemade garlic ranch dressing is better than the bottled stuff.  This creamy dressing is super simple to make and doesn't contain "modified food starch" or "artificial flavors," it's all natural.  Drizzle your garlic ranch dressing over your salad, use it as a dipping sauce for your chicken fingers, or spread it on bread for your sandwich.
