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.

LIGHT BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING



Light Buttermilk Ranch Dressing image

This is a great ranch dressing mix, which is lower in sodium and without the preservatives found in the commercial brands. This dressing mix not only makes a good salad dressing and dip, it is also good as a sauce on cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, fish, poultry and meat. This recipe makes 1/2 cup of the dry mix, or enough to make 8 cups of the finished dressing. You can make the dry mix up in larger quantities and package it in small decorative jars just large enough to hold one recipe for holiday gifts. When wrapping the jars of the mix, you could include a copy of the recipe and the ingredients for making more of the dry mix. This way if the recipient likes the dressing, they can make more of it for themselves and share it with even more friends. Recipe is from Cook It Light.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING



Old-fashioned Buttermilk Ranch Dressing image

I'm not fond of a garlic press-cleaning out all the holes is a chore. I prefer chopping garlic, but finely chopping or mashing large quantities to a paste (see page 72) can be tiresome. Recently I picked up my Microplane, a rasp-type grater, and grated the garlic directly over my saucepan. A couple of swipes back and forth and the garlic had disappeared into the pan below.

Yield makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise (page 282)
1/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 green onions (white and green parts), chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, green onions, parsley, vinegar, mustard, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. The garlic becomes very strong if made more than a day in advance.
