It’s all about ranch in Texas.
Being a native, I had to do it justice when coming up with a skinny version.
First of all, I had to come with a dry ranch seasoning that I was happy with. Then I had to break out the laboratory and begin working on a base.
It needed to be smooth, creamy, and full of that flavor that we all know and love. Nothing short of perfection would do here.
I tried to lighten this up a few different ways, but ultimately I knew the instant this ranch reached my tongue that it was exactly what I was looking for.
The ingredients are super simple and so easy to double or triple for a larger batch.
Is that a purple chip? Why yes, yes it is.
These are Central Market’s Blue Potato Chips. I also had a bag of their Exotic Vegetable blend, containing sweet potato, batata, taro and parsnip chips. Pretty tasty and very pretty!
I enjoyed the fact that they had no artificial preservatives or flavors and my little girl enjoyed the bright and fun colors. Everyone agreed though… the blue potatoes were the favorite!
