Instructions

  1. Start with the dressing (skip if using premade)
  2. Ranch dressing always tastes it’s absolute best made ahead of time. Whisk and chill for a few hours before serving or make things simple by tossing it together the night before.
  3. Peel 1 clove of garlic, then smash and mince it into a paste.
  4. Season with salt.
  5. Combine salted garlic paste with remaining dressing ingredients and whisk well.
  6. Pop in the fridge to chill for a few hours for flavors to set.
  7. Wash + dry spinach.
  8. Combine with broccoli, apples, grapes, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and pepitas.
  9. Toss with dressing and serve.
  10. Season with black pepper, to taste. Feel free to sprinkle with extra poppy seeds to garnish. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 2 large salads or 4 side salads!
  • This dressing works with both fresh and dried herbs, so absolutely use what fresh herbs you have on hand. I’ll include measurements for dried, which are a little stronger in flavor, so when using fresh you’ll simply increase the amount to taste. Enjoy!
  • Making extra dressing for later? Typical food safety rule of thumb is that homemade dressings will keep in the fridge for 4 days.
  • Nutrition Facts below are estimated before adding dressing using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed based on amount of dressing added (since we all have our own preference) and enjoy!
