Ranch Dressing Recipe

One of the most popular of the mayonnaise-based salad dressings, Ranch Dressing is easy to make. And as anyone who's ever eaten a chicken wing knows, it makes a great dip, too!

Any of the mayonnaise-based salad dressings can be made with store-bought mayonnaise. But if you really want the full effect, why not try making your own mayonnaise?

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1½ cups sour cream
  • 1½ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½ Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 Tbsp chopped chives
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 chopped scallion
  • 1 Tbsp mustard

Preparation:

In a glass bowl, combine the mayonnaise and other ingredients. Chill.

Store unused portion in the refrigerator, where it should keep for a day or two.

Makes about 4 cups of ranch dressing.
