Homemade Ranch Dressing
Description
Homemade Ranch Dressing is prepared by combining a raw egg with lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a jar. Light olive oil is carefully incorporated using an immersion blender from the bottom up to form a creamy emulsion. Dried dill and parsley are stirred in to add herbal flavor. The dressing offers a balance of tangy, savory, and fresh herb flavors with a smooth, creamy texture. It relies on the emulsification of oil and egg for creaminess.
This dressing can be served with salads or as a dip for vegetables or snacks. It keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for about one week. Since it contains raw egg, care should be taken regarding food safety, especially for those at risk of foodborne illness.
A practical note is to use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Stir herbs in after blending to preserve their texture and flavor. Use light olive oil to avoid overpowering the dressing's delicate flavors.
