Kefir Ranch Dressing or Veggie Dip

Have you jumped on the kefir bandwagon and discovered all of the amazing things you can use it in? We love these kefir smoothies, and consume them on an almost daily basis, but there's so much more to use kefir in! With our garden still producing like crazy, I sliced up some fresh vegetables and whipped up a batch of this yummy kefir veggie dip for my kid's after-school-snack. And yes all of the veggies shown in these pictures are from our garden (except the olives of course). What a great way to get your probiotics found in the kefir and all of the wonderful nutrients from the fresh vegetables.

Have you tried kefir yet?
