Homemade Ranch Dressing
Description
Homemade Ranch Dressing combines rich mayonnaise and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) as its base, creating a smooth creamy texture. Fresh parsley and chives contribute bright herbal notes, while minced garlic adds a pungent background flavor. Dried dill provides an additional herbaceous touch, and Worcestershire sauce lends mild umami depth. Lemon juice introduces subtle acidity to balance the richness. The mixture can be shaken vigorously in a jar or whisked together in a bowl, producing a dressing ready to use immediately or chilled to thicken.
This dressing complements salads, acts as a dipping sauce for vegetables or snacks, and can enhance sandwiches or wraps. Adjust salt and pepper to taste for personal preference.
The recipe yields about 1.5 cups, enough for several large salads.
