Thanks for recipe. Sounds great. Can’t wait to try. Watching salt intake. Will replace seasoning with Mrs. Dash Southwest.
About how many days does the sauce last
Hi Sarah, no more than seven days.
sorry can you use whole mayo and milk
Of coarse Linda. 🙂
can you use greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayo? will the taste be different
Sure Debbie. That sounds delicious!
Thank You, I needed something simple and fast!
You’re Welcome Annie…..ENJOY! 🙂
How many servings would you think?
Hi Shasta, The recipe makes about 1½ cups. The servings is up to how much each of your guests use.
I traditionally like french dressing for my taco salads but this dressing is SO much easier to whip up and is very tasty that it has become my go-to for taco salad night. We try to minimize or avoid dairy so I like to thin it with 1/4 cup salsa rather than milk. It turns out thicker but is still a good dressing consistency.
That’s awesome Jennifer! I’m glad you like the recipe.
Can’t even see the recipe cause it’s covered up with a freaking advertisement!!!
Hi Debra, Sorry about that. I know they annoy me too! But that’s how I get paid. All you have to do is wait 2 seconds and they shrink so you can see what you want to see.
