Ranch Seasoning is a summer favorite, and whether you like it as a dressing or a dipping sauce best, there is no substitute. In this salad, we chopped the classic crudité and dressed it with an easy DIY ranch dressing with buttermilk and mayonnaise. Bacon bits and crispy onions add an extra layer of flavor to take this salad over the top. A perfect salad to whip up for picnics and cookouts, it is a great summer go-to salad with plenty of hearty veggie crunch. Our Ranch Seasoning is salt and preservative free so you can adjust salt to taste and add as much of this bright and tangy seasoning as you like.
