The BEST Homade Ranch Dressing
Explore the greatness of homemade Ranch Dressing that transforms salads and dips with fresh flavors that you will love.
I adore salads. I eat them almost every day. They are seasonal and fresh; the possibilities are endless. Growing up, I had a problem with the All-American ranch dressing. The ranch dressing I ate as a child was made from a packet of powder, eh. In college, I bought the bottle in the store, double eh. Once I found this recipe, there was no going back to the other stuff. I make it so much that I have handed over the cooking reins to my middle child to free up my time in the kitchen. She loves to make it.
We serve it on salads, use it as a dip for veggies, and I have a great Roasted Red Pepper Ranch Pasta Salad that uses this recipe. It is simple to prepare, and I always have the ingredients on hand. This ranch has the perfect balance of dairy and greens — creamy but without too much onion or herb flavor. Once you make this recipe, you won’t want to go back to any other. Enjoy!
