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.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dips and spreads, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 5 cups dressing

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons dried chives
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
2 tablespoons buttermilk powder (optional)
1/2 cup chilled sour cream or mayonnaise
1/2 cup chilled buttermilk
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • For the seasoning mix: In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use; it will keep indefinitely.
  • To make 1 cup dressing: In a medium bowl, place 1 tablespoon seasoning mix. Add sour cream and buttermilk and whisk together until smooth. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days (or up to 2 weeks if made with mayonnaise).

BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING WITH BIBB LETTUCE



Buttermilk Ranch Dressing with Bibb Lettuce image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 cups dressing

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
11/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon good olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt, such as Fage Total
1/2 cup buttermilk, shaken
Salad greens for 6
3 small Bibb lettuces, cut in half through the core
2 large ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 red onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Place the scallions, basil, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree for 15 to 20 seconds to make a smooth mixture. Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, and buttermilk and blend until smooth. Transfer the dressing to a container, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour for the flavors to develop.
  • Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, and onion artfully on salad plates and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
  • Cook's Note: Ina substituted Boston lettuce for Bibb lettuce when taping this episode.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your ranch dressing a tangy flavor and a thick consistency.
  • Don't use skim milk. Skim milk will make your ranch dressing too thin and watery.
  • Use a high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make your ranch dressing creamy and flavorful.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your ranch dressing. Some popular additions include parsley, chives, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Let the dressing sit for a while before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to thicken up.

Conclusion:

Ranch dressing is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's great on salads, vegetables, and chicken. You can also use it as a dip for chips or pretzels. No matter how you choose to use it, ranch dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dressing, give this recipe a try.
