I love using fresh, local produce for my meals. Whether using it to make an amazing crisp salad or a cozy warm soup, I love to use locally grown produce whenever possible.
Did you know that your local Walmart is a great place to get seasonal, locally grown produce from a variety of partner farms? It’s true! And by locally grown, that means produce that is bought and sold right in the same state.
I also love that Walmart backs its fresh produce promise with a 100 percent money-back guarantee. If you aren’t completely satisfied with Walmart’s produce, just bring back your receipt for a full refund. No questions asked and no need to bring back the produce. There is nothing more frustrating to me than spending money on produce just to bring it home to discover it is inedible, but I have no need to worry when I get it from my local Walmart.
It gets even better because if my life is crazy and I’m short on time, I can just order fresh groceries online with same-day pickup. Walmart’s grocery pickup service provides great value, friendly service and fresh groceries on my schedule. I can log on at Walmart.com/grocery from my doctor’s appointment or from my son’s swim meet and have my groceries ready for me to just stop and pick up on my way home.
Enjoy Produce with Simple Homemade Ranch Dressing
Now, one way that I love to enjoy that fresh produce is in a salad. I can add whatever is local and in season to my salad. The go-to favorite dressing to top a salad with at my house is ranch dressing and I have a simple recipe for you to use.
It uses items that I keep in my pantry, so it’s easy to whip up a batch whenever I need it. It will also keep for about a week or so so we can enjoy it at a couple of meals during the week.
