Notes

This recipe makes about ½ cup dressing.
Start with ½ teaspoon of Cajun seasoning.  If the dressing tastes good to you, you don’t need add any more. If it’s not flavorful enough, add more.
If you want the dressing to be spicier, add a pinch of Cayenne pepper.
If the dressing seems too thick, add a bit of cold water or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and give the dressing a good stir. It should be thick but pourable, like Ranch.
