Whenever I’m at a restaurant and a waiter asks me what kind of dressing I’d like with my salad, there is only one true answer: “Ranch, please!”
Ranch is an incredible dressing with a phenomenal flavor. Not only can it jazz up your raw veggies, but it is also fantastic paired with fries, infused into Dorito chips (Cool Ranch, anyone?), and believe it or not, it’s a delicious alternative to Alfredo sauce for pasta! Just think about it: Ranch dressing on macaroni can be “Cowboy-style Cavatappi.” Lasso me up a plate of that, cattleman!
Although many of us find ranch delightful, most of us don’t really know what’s in it. Buttermilk? Dill? Magic? But what else?
Ranch is actually way easier to make than you would think, and whipping up a batch at home is as simple as putting a few basic ingredients into a Mason jar and shaking it up.
Better yet — did you know you can easily tweak a ranch recipe to make all kinds of fun flavors like barbecue, Italian, and even chipotle? You can! Plus, it’s incredibly easy.
