How many servings would you think?
Hi Shasta, The recipe makes about 1½ cups. The servings is up to how much each of your guests use.
I traditionally like french dressing for my taco salads but this dressing is SO much easier to whip up and is very tasty that it has become my go-to for taco salad night. We try to minimize or avoid dairy so I like to thin it with 1/4 cup salsa rather than milk. It turns out thicker but is still a good dressing consistency.
That’s awesome Jennifer! I’m glad you like the recipe.
Can’t even see the recipe cause it’s covered up with a freaking advertisement!!!
Hi Debra, Sorry about that. I know they annoy me too! But that’s how I get paid. All you have to do is wait 2 seconds and they shrink so you can see what you want to see.
