Veggies & Chipotle Ranch Dressing

Homemade Chipotle Ranch Dressing

I use Hellmans Real Mayo. Here is a link to the ingredients. http://www.hellmanns.com/product/detail/97847/Real-Mayonnaise

It doesn’t look that scary. But if you want to make your own, here’s a cool site: paleo mayo recipe on fastpaleo.com/coconutolive-oil-mayo/

Since I eat on the run most of the time, I prepack a lot of stuff. One of those packing staples is a bag of chopped veggies. But after about 3 bites I’m tired of veggies, so here’s a really tasty dressing to dip them in. Use a mason jar if you have one. I write the date I made it on some freezer tape and stick it to the lid (when I remember anyway). Then when you want it, just shake it up. Most dressings keep for 2 weeks, but I’ve never had this one long enough to find out when it expires.  ( ;

CHIPOTLE DRESSING:

¼ cup mayo
1/8 tsp chipotle powder
1/8 tsp cumin
½ tsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbls chopped cilantro
½ tsp minced garlic
1-2 Tbls water.


1 stalk celery, $1.24 (organic $2.99)
4 bell peppers, $4.
Broccoli, $2.38
Cauliflower, $2.18
Baby Carrots, (organic $2.69)

Chop up when you shop on the weekend and place a handful in ziplock baggies to snack on throughout the week. You can get about 9 bags or more for around $15 (roughly a buck 50 each)

I did this yesterday with
broccoli $2.38
Snow Peas $2.50
Cucumber $.78
Celery $1.24
Cauliflower $2.18
Came out to 8 bags at $9.08, so $1.14 a bag.
