What is yoghurt ranch dressing, is this a store bought condiment?
Hi Vanessa
Yes, this is something you can buy, in some places. If your supermarket doesn’t stock it, just mix low-fat plain yoghurt into some regular ranch dressing for a healthier version.

I added some homemade kumara wedges as well. A delicious meal.
