Ranch Dressing

I was so happy to get see that Tina at Mom's Crazy Cooking will be continuing the
Crazy Cooking Challenge!  The challenge is theme-based so you can find a recipe from, well, anywhere to share as long as it matches the theme.  This month's theme:  Ranch Dressing.


I must admit to never having made ranch dressing before....but, why not give it a try.  We are traveling at the moment but I was able to find a Ranch Dressing recipe to make and share.  The plan is to use it as a dipping sauce for some BBQ chicken wings.  I found the perfect recipe at Smells Like Home.

Ranch Dressing


3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
3/4 cup sour cream 
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 to 1 cup buttermilk (I used low-fat buttermilk.)
1 small bunch of chives or 2 scallions, roughly chopped
Small handful of parsley
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients with 1/4 cup of buttermilk in a blender and blend for 10 seconds. Check consistency and blend in additional buttermilk if desired. Less buttermilk for dipping and more for dressing. Store in an air-tight jar in the refrigerator.  Leftovers will keep 2-3 weeks.

  5. I don't know that I've ever had scratch Ranch Dressing and know we've never made it. Ours is 1 packet Hidden Valley dry seasoning and what ever it says to mix with it. I'll have to save this and give it a try.

  6. Call me weird....but I am so particular about dressings. I do not like the dressings that you buy in a bottle at the store...and I believe the dressing can make a salad or make it a fud.
    I love the ranch dressing at Out Back....so please don't tell me it comes from one of those store bought bottles!!

    Have a great Sunday
