Anewknitter Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I am doing my first Whole 30 for my health. It is just me, but I am cooking more paleo for dinner. However, at lunch my kids are often happy to snack on veggies with "dip" (ranch dressing). I see it as a small are I could make a change and there would not be too much push back. So.... Suggestions or ideas and resources.... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 My daughter likes the homemade mayo I make, straight up! Do you have the Well Fed cookbook? She has a good recipe for a compliant ranch dressing and some other sauces. Guacamole might also be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 We make yummy dips with spinach/herbs, nuts and a bit of olive oil. you could also use roast capsicum or pumpkin/sweet potato. beetroot dip is nice as well - you could add a bit of homemade mayo to make it creamier. could you serve it with chicken "fingers", HB eggs or other easy, compliant meat to bump up their protein too?

Maycat Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have to second "Well Fed" 's recipes for ranch and creamy italian dressing http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2011/01/25/tangy-goodness-creamy-italian-dressing/, I am addicted to those! They are so good! Every week I make homemade mayo, and then mix it up with different sauces. The other sauces in the book are delicious. My kids loved the Baba Ghanoush as well http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/07/17/eat-your-vegetables-eggplant/. Also, there a version Ina Garten has with red bell pepper and it is delicious. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-eggplant-spread-recipe/index.html.

SpinSpin Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I also found a southwestern ranch that with a couple of tweaks it was whole 30 compliant. Very yummy if you want something a tad spicier than just regular ranch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msssjenna Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 i also make homemade mayo - add different spices and its close enough to ranch (hey, its white!) i also put almond butter on their celery and they like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
