This is a great Ranch-style homemade dressing, made completely from scratch! Well, I didn't make my own mayo or buttermilk, but I can still live with myself. This recipe comes from Homesick Texan. I've only tried it on salads so far, but I can't wait to try it on other foods (or as a dip). It's not too garlicky like other Ranch dressing's I've made, and it was so easy to mix up. I mixed it up with my immersion blender to make sure there were no garlic chunks. I decreased the cilantro (I wanted an all-purpose flavor) and left out the spicy pepper.
Buttermilk Dressing
adapted from Homesick Texan
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of sour cream (I used light)
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1 Tablespoon of chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
1. Mix all the ingredients together and let chill for an hour. Makes 1 cup; keeps for a week in the refrigerator. This makes a thinner dressing; if you prefer it thicker, use 1/2 cup of mayo.
I am a Ranch addict...this looks delicious!

ReplyDeleteI've always just used the packet--I must give this a try for the above "Ranch addict". :)
