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!
