ReplyDeleteYum! I've tried many different recipes for this dressing and they all tasted too much like ranch so I am excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteEden, I think you will love this!
ReplyDeleteUm. Blonde question. When you say jalapeno, seeded, does that mean de-seeded? Or to leave the seeds ... I'm assuming I need to get rid of them or this will be SPICY!
ReplyDeleteBrooke- yes that means de-seeded. and remember, asking questions and experimenting will only make you a better cook! Thanks for reading :)
