• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION TIP

This dressing can easily be turned into a dip by separating the kefir from its whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier ranch dip. Do this by pouring the dressing into a wire mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a few coffee filters and set over a bowl. Once the whey has dripped out, transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready for use. If you wish to reserve the whey for other uses, complete this step before adding the spices so that the whey is not flavored.
