Ranch Dressing & Gluten Free Croutons
This ranch dressing is awesome and these croutons are so tasty no one will even know they are gluten/wheat free! They taste like garlic bread! Wait until they tell you how good it all is and then tell them it's gluten/wheat free! Homemade is much better than bottled salad dressing with all the preservatives and it’s really quick and easy to make up and keep in an empty glass jar in the frig!

Ingredients
  • Homemade Ranch Dressing:
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or Plain Greek yogurt my new fav instead of sour cream! I had some on my baked potato last night and oh my YUM!!! I'm sold!
  • 1/2 cup Hellmann’s gluten-free mayonnaise
  • 1 cup buttermilk when I don’t have buttermilk a little trick I use is some Almond Milk with a squeeze of lemon!
  • 3 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
  • Gluten/wheat free Croutons:
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic paste (2 cloves garlic smashed with the flat side of a knife and a sprinkle of salt, to make the paste)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups cubed Udi’s gluten-free bread cut into 3/4-inch cubes. I keep mine frozen and a lot of times have the bread ends that make great croutons! I thaw it out and then cut into cubes.
