My family and I are trying to be more health conscious these days and eat meals with less fat.

RANCH DRESSING WITH FRESH HERBS



Ranch Dressing With Fresh Herbs image

Although the original ranch dressing was made with ingredients like garlic powder and dried dill, fresh herbs and real garlic give this dressing a much brighter taste - and a pretty pale green color. This dressing is adapted from the restaurant Emily in Brooklyn, N.Y., one of the first pizzerias in New York City to serve ranch dressing. It's still a controversial combination in Brooklyn, but the chef Matt Hyland's dressing is uncontroversially delicious.

Categories     dips and spreads, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield About 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup chilled buttermilk, more as needed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or parsley
1 cup store-bought mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, process the buttermilk, garlic, pepper, chives and mint together until the herbs are minced and the mixture turns pale green. Add the mayonnaise and process just until smooth. If desired, thin with additional buttermilk to get the consistency you want. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor for this dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Use a good quality nonfat sour cream: A good quality nonfat sour cream will make your dressing smooth and creamy. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free sour cream, as it will make your dressing watery.
  • Let the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Use the dressing on salads, grilled vegetables, or as a dip for vegetables or chips.

Conclusion:

This low-fat herbed ranch dressing is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. It's easy to make and can be used in a variety of ways. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
