If you know me, you know I love ranch. A lot. Like a lot a lot. I love ranch on salad, I love putting ranch in wraps, I love dipping in ranch…heck, I even love dipping a wrap with ranch into ranch! Store bought ranch dressings are just never<\/em> the same as what you get in a restaurant. Hidden Valley ranch packets are okay<\/em>, but they’re still just not that restaurant quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ranch is my favorite to make because it is the perfect consistency for both salads and for dipping. You know what I mean, right? Not all reasons for ranch are created equally! I usually make the whole batch without adding any extra milk to thin it. Once the dressing has set, I sometimes split it into two bottles: one to leave just as-is (great for salads, wings, or any time you want a little thicker consistency) and one that I add a little whole milk to for a thinner dressing (great for drizzling on wraps\/sandwiches or dipping vegetables, pizza, etc in). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote this recipe to be fairly neutral in flavor, but I usually end up adding extra dill. I like my ranch to be very dill-y, so I tried to be conservative here while still turning out a great dressing. If you’re like me, don’t be afraid to double the dill! Add a little at a time and taste, taste, taste until you get what you like. If you don’t have fresh dill or you run out mid-recipe, feel free to switch to dried dill, but keep in mind the 3:1 rule. Dried herbs are significantly more concentrated than fresh herbs, so 1 tsp of dried dill is the equivalent of about 3 tsp (or 1 Tbsp) of fresh dill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have a lot of fun with this recipe. I start with this as my base and then scoop out what I need if I’m looking to complement a certain flavor in another dish. Try adding some extra garlic powder to pair it with oven-roasted potatoes, or if you really want to elevate it, mix in some roasted garlic. If you start with this delicious-as-it-is dressing, the world is really your oyst…ermm…dressing cup!<\/p>\n\n\n
