CLASSIC RANCH DRESSING



Classic Ranch Dressing image

The original dressing served in the 1950s at Hidden Valley Ranch, a guest ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., was made mostly from dry herbs and aromatics. To recreate that taste, this recipe is made with garlic powder instead of garlic, dried parsley instead of fresh, and so on. It makes enough seasoning mix for about 4 cups dressing; you can mix it, store it, then add dairy as needed. If you don't like the zip of mustard, try hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce instead - or simply omit for a milder taste. To make a thick dip instead of a pourable dressing, reduce the amount of buttermilk to 1/4 cup.

CILANTRO/GARLIC RANCH DRESSING



Cilantro/Garlic Ranch Dressing image

I got this recipe from my sister in law, I am not sure where she got the recipe. It is my new favorite recipe for dressing. It is especially good on a mexican taco salad type dish-my favorite includes shredded pork, black beans, tomatoes, lettuce and this dressing. Mmmmm... Serving size is a guess, since some people like to put a few tablespoons on their salad and some people like to put half a cup on. :) Should produce about 2 cups of dressing-I think.

CREAMY CILANTRO LIME DRESSING

This recipe is similar to one that we enjoy at our favorite fast food salad place. We also use this as a dip for chicken nuggets. If dressing is too thick, thin it with a little milk.

Not sure how close it is because I've never had the original, but it's delicious. If I don't have tomatillos on hand, I use a couple tablespoons of green chile salsa.
