CLASSIC RANCH DRESSING



Classic Ranch Dressing image

The original dressing served in the 1950s at Hidden Valley Ranch, a guest ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., was made mostly from dry herbs and aromatics. To recreate that taste, this recipe is made with garlic powder instead of garlic, dried parsley instead of fresh, and so on. It makes enough seasoning mix for about 4 cups dressing; you can mix it, store it, then add dairy as needed. If you don't like the zip of mustard, try hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce instead - or simply omit for a milder taste. To make a thick dip instead of a pourable dressing, reduce the amount of buttermilk to 1/4 cup.

RANCH DRESSING WITH FRESH HERBS



Ranch Dressing With Fresh Herbs image

Although the original ranch dressing was made with ingredients like garlic powder and dried dill, fresh herbs and real garlic give this dressing a much brighter taste - and a pretty pale green color. This dressing is adapted from the restaurant Emily in Brooklyn, N.Y., one of the first pizzerias in New York City to serve ranch dressing. It's still a controversial combination in Brooklyn, but the chef Matt Hyland's dressing is uncontroversially delicious.

Categories     dips and spreads, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield About 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup chilled buttermilk, more as needed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or parsley
1 cup store-bought mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, process the buttermilk, garlic, pepper, chives and mint together until the herbs are minced and the mixture turns pale green. Add the mayonnaise and process just until smooth. If desired, thin with additional buttermilk to get the consistency you want. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days.
