New and Improved Ranch Dressing Recipe

with 2 comments

Holy shit you guys. I posted a ranch dressing recipe a while ago, but I wasn’t super thrilled with it. Well, I made ranch tonight and changed it a little bit and it was really good. Here’s the new recipe:

Holy Shit! Awesome Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s/Best Foods — light is ok with me but Ben doesn’t like it)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (light is ok)
  • 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and/or fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill

I use heaping measurements of the chives and parsley and barely heaping measurements of the garlic powder and onion powder.

Directions

Throw everything in a large bowl and stir like crazy until smooth and well-blended. Add extra buttermilk if you like a thinner ranch at any time. Refrigerate (duh). I store this in a glass jar.

For a low-tech version, leave out the green stuff (chives, parsley, and dill).

For chipotle ranch, omit dill and add 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers.

  1. [...] Fry in a large frying pan with a bit of olive oil over medium heat for 20-ish minutes, flipping after every 5, then add cheese (pepper jack is excellent, cheddar is good) and continue to fry until the cheese melts.  (I will update with grilling instructions and/or adjustments ASAP; my first version of this recipe wasn’t so successful and I tried to grill the burgers but they didn’t hold up very well.) Serve burgers on a toasted bun with tomato, onion, lettuce, avocado, and chipotle ranch (recipe here). [...]

  2. [...] I know I could just make my own RANCH DRESSING, but that is not the point. .nrelate .nr_sponsored{ left:0px !important; } [...]
