How do you get your kids to eat raw veggies like carrots, celery and broccoli? Give them some Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing to dip into and you'll see an empty veggie plate soon enough. My kids love Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing on their salad, as a dipper and even a topping for burgers.I was thrilled when Dailybuzz gave me the opportunity to write a recipe for this fantastic product that our family uses regularly. I always buy the bottle variety and was excited to experiment with the seasoning mix. I had so many ideas in my head on what to create and I finally decided on my Avocado Ranch Sauce with Cajun Fish Tacos.
My kids were able to help me make this meal that came together very quickly. The best part was everyone got to custom make their own tacos with fresh cabbage, onions, tomatoes and creamy sauce. My daughter even created a mini salad on her plate with the toppings and the Avocado Ranch Sauce because she loved the ranch flavor in the sauce. When you have Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing around, you don't have any whining at the table about eating veggies, you just have happy smiles.
