Best Ranch Dressing ever

This recipe is from the Chevy's cookbook. We love it. I've never had it on a salad but it's a good dip for tortilla chips. It's good on chicken wings, mixed with salsa and about everything else I've tried it on. It's from Chevy's so it's slightly mexican.

1 tbs finely diced yellow onion

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 c cold mayonnaise

Buffalo Chicken Dip

This recipe was given to me by my friend, Julie. It is super easy and addictive to eat- the more you eat- the more you want it!!! It also works just as well with low fat ingredients, so you can save a lot of calories!

2 10 oz cans of chicken (drained)
1/2 cup of Franks Red Hot (you can go up to 1 cup based on how hot you want it)
1/2 cup of Ranch Dressing
1 8 oz bar of cream cheese (softened so it will be easy to stir in)
1 cup of Mozzarella cheese

Use a fork to "fluff" the chicken in the can and put in a medium size bowl. Add the Red Hot and the Ranch dressing and mix. Stir in cream cheese and then mozzarella cheese. Pour into a small casserole/ oven safe dish and back at 325 deg. for 20 minutes. Or, it can be microwaved until heated well throughout.

Serve warm with Tostitos tortilla chips.

YUM!
