Over 1,000 students funnel through the lunch room at Wagner Schools each day. Nutritious meals are planned and fresh vegetables and salads are prepared. That’s a lot of carrot sticks each day. On top of it all, literally, is the ranch dressing consumption.
Salad dressings are a tasty condiment and Ranch is favored for greens and as a dip for vegetables. Commercial varieties can be high in sodium and calories. Wagner’s kitchen staff have created a version that meets nutritional guidelines. Plus, it’s tasty.
