CREAMY TORTELLINI SALAD WITH CHICKEN, BACON, AND RANCH DRESSING



Creamy Tortellini Salad with Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Dressing image

When I moved to Oklahoma, I discovered a pizza called "chicken bacon ranch" and this pasta salad is a nod to the flavors in the pizza. If desired, marinate chicken in ranch dressing, and grill chicken to bump up the flavor.

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY RANCH DRESSING/DIP



Kittencal's Creamy Ranch Dressing/Dip image

A creamy dressing with the perfect blend of spices, adjust the amount of dill to suit taste I advise not to use more than 2 teaspoon fresh garlic or it will overpower the dressing, all other amounts may be adjusted to suit taste --- don't even think about serving this dressing until after it's chilled for at least 4 or more hours and the longer the better --- for a lower fat option use low-fat mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk --- for Ranch Peppercorn dressing add in 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper or to taste, and for Parmesan ranch dressing add in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or to taste --- this makes a fantastic veggie dip!

CREAMY 'RANCH' DRESSING



Creamy 'Ranch' Dressing image

Lisa Feldman, the director of culinary services at the schools division of the food services company Sodexo, understands that where there is ranch dressing, there are kids who will eat vegetables. Lisa is working to devise menus for schools that meet or exceed the Department of Agriculture's Healthier US Schools Challenge requirements. With a deep understanding of the ingredients that school lunch programs have to work with, she developed a white bean and yogurt salad dressing base. The mixture will make a dressing that has much more nutritional value, considerably less sodium, and none of the additives in the long ingredient list on a bottle of commercial ranch dressing. Lisa credits the chef and cookbook author Joyce Goldstein for the idea. This is an adaptation of the ranch that Lisa developed for schools. It can be used as a dip, but also as a salad dressing for crisp salads. Adding the ice cube to the food processor helps to break down the fiber in the bean skins so that the dressing is less grainy.

Vegan Ranch Dressing (Extra Creamy) image

This dressing is something I came up with when I stopped eating dairy. Its every bit as good as the dairy laden dressings but much healthier.

Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Time 5m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

1 cup non-dairy mayonnaise
1 cup non dairy tofutti better-than-cream-cheese
2 cups non-dairy liquid coffee creamer (plain silk-soy)
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients in a blender until totally incorporated. Chill in the fridge for one hour, though it's good to eat right away. You can use this for dips as well, though I'd use less creamer and more cream cheese to give it a thicker consistency. Yield 4 cups.
