Ranch Dressing
Description
This Ranch Dressing recipe blends sour cream and mayonnaise with milk to achieve a smooth, creamy base. Fresh minced garlic adds pungency, while salt, black pepper, and a small amount of sugar balance the taste. Chopped fresh dill and chives bring herbal brightness and texture. Lemon juice contributes acidity to brighten flavors, and Worcestershire sauce adds savory umami notes, complemented by a few dashes of Tabasco for subtle heat.
The ingredients are whisked together and chilled before serving, allowing flavors to meld. This dressing maintains a thick yet pourable consistency suitable for drizzling over salads, serving as a dip for vegetables or chips, or complementing grilled or roasted meats.
The dressing can be prepared in advance and kept refrigerated for up to three days, making it practical for meal prep or entertaining. Using quality mayonnaise enhances the flavor profile without overpowering the herbs.
