Hello,
I’m looking for a Red Italian Salad Dressing comparable to
Wood Ranch. Does anybody know what it is that gives it that zing?
Thanks
Kelli, use red wine vinager instead of the cider. That gives it quite a bit of a flavor change. Also substitute 1/4 cup of the veg oil with extra virgin olive oil.
