Creamy Ranch Dressing Recipe With Fresh Herbs Is a Low-Salt Version of the Classic Salads Sauces/Condiments

My husband had a heart attack in 2016. That spurred my shopping spree for heart-healthy cookbooks and salt-free seasonings. This easy ranch dressing recipe from an American Heart Association cookbook has fresh herbs and is lower in sodium than most salad dressings.

Drizzle this creamy salad dressing recipe over garden salads or on grilled chicken breast or use as a dip for fresh vegetables. You can change up the fresh herbs, too.
