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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, will add a lot of flavor to your dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Let the dressing rest: Allowing the dressing to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld and develop. This will result in a more flavorful dressing.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The quality of your olive oil will make a big difference in the taste of your dressing. Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Store the dressing properly: Dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. However, it is best to use it within a week for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Garlic ranch dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for salads, sandwiches, wraps, and vegetables.
