RANCH DRESSING MIX PLUS THOUSAND ISLAND AND CUCUMBER RANCH



Ranch Dressing Mix Plus Thousand Island and Cucumber Ranch image

This is from TOH. Its great because you can mix the dry ingredients and keep in a cool dry place in ziploc bags. All you have to do later is to add the ingredients for the other dressings and enjoy. I suggest refrigerating at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend. The base mix yields 3 cups of mix. This divides into 4 portions to use at any point. Each portion makes 6 batches of salad dressing.

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 buttermilk or sour cream for a thicker dressing. If you don't have either of these on hand, you can use milk or yogurt, but the dressing will be thinner.
  • Add fresh herbs for a pop of flavor. Dill, chives, parsley, and thyme are all great additions to ranch dressing.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing.
  • Let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve ranch dressing with your favorite foods. It's great on salads, vegetables, chicken, fish, and even pizza.
