CHEF JOHN'S GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

CLASSIC RANCH DRESSING
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.

Steps:
- For the seasoning mix: In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use; it will keep indefinitely.
- To make 1 cup dressing: In a medium bowl, place 1 tablespoon seasoning mix. Add sour cream and buttermilk and whisk together until smooth. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days (or up to 2 weeks if made with mayonnaise).

RANCH DRESSING WITH FRESH HERBS
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.

Tips:
- Use buttermilk for a tangy flavor: Buttermilk is a key ingredient in classic ranch dressing, and it gives the dressing its characteristic tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Use fresh herbs for extra flavor: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, can add a lot of flavor to ranch dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste: Ranch dressing is a versatile condiment, so you can adjust the seasonings to your own taste. If you like a more garlicky dressing, add more garlic powder. If you like a more tangy dressing, add more lemon juice or vinegar. And if you like a spicier dressing, add some cayenne pepper.
- Let the dressing chill before serving: Allowing the dressing to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Ranch dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from salads to sandwiches to chicken wings. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients, and it can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give homemade ranch dressing a try.
