Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can use mayonnaise substitute if you desire, but the end results will not be the same.
- Any kind of mayonnaise will work but do not use miracle whip salad dressing as that is a different flavor.
- Substitute skim, 2% or ½ % milk if that is what you feel you need to do, but the resulting ranch dressing will not be as thick and creamy.
- If you want to add more flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk in the recipe.
- Kick up the final recipe by adding some chopped fresh chives. The color and flavor is beautiful.
- Allow the whole thing to sit in the fridge for about an hour or more to thicken.
- If the resulting recipe is thicker than you prefer, simply add more milk to the recipe to thin it.
- Always mix it well or shake well before using so that the ingredients get a remix and any settling is shaken up.
- Ranch dressing is literally wonderful on everything! Use it on pizza, eggs, meats, veggies, breads, everything.
