Ranch Dressing

HB-1882 · Hand-built original · American, Western

Ranch Dressing — the dish itself.
Served with its “pairs well with” suggestions: toast, hash browns, fruit salad, bacon, avocado.

Homemade ranch is so much better than the bottled stuff, you can actually taste the herbs and spices in it! Use as a dressing for salads or a dipping sauce for wings, wedges, veggie sticks, crumbed chicken tenders etc. Makes 1 1/2 cups, enough to dress a big salad for 5 - 6 people.
