I am making homemade ranch for them though.
I love homemade ranch dressing. I'll honestly ask my waiter if they make their dressings in house before I order it. How do you make yours?

ME too.

And really, they all should. It is a ranch packet, mayo, and buttermilk. That is all a restaurant needs to do.

For regular times, I do this. But for "special" ranch occasions ( ), the Ina Garten recipe is very good.

quote:

Ingredients

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
Directions

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.

They may say yes but its probably just a packet of ranch seasonings, buttermilk, and I think mayo.

That is "homemade" enough for me. That's what Sammy's, Pluckers, etc. does. As long as it isn't from a bottle/gallon bag, I am happy :)

Whatever. That's better than the industrial size container of Kraft Ranch or some offbeat name brand.



Thanks for the recipe, LL. I'm going to have to try it out. I grew up on Ranch and love a good homemade one.

This.


I haven't had it in a while but

homemade >>>>>>> packet>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bottle/bag

ETA: I'll save the calories and squeeze a lemon on top of my salad before I do ranch from a bottle/bag

This. It is so bad. Insane how different the two taste. I guess it is from whatever they do to make it last forever.

Yeah. It has a weird tang to it that I can't handle.
