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.

AMERICAN KITCHEN CLASSIC RANCH DRESSING

Yes, America....there really is a Hidden Valley Ranch! In 1954, Steve and Gayle Henson opened a dude ranch near Santa Barbara, California called Hidden Valley Ranch. To their guests, they served a dressing that Steve had developed. The dressing was popular, and they began selling bottles that guests could take home. This expanded into mass production which continues today but no longer with the Hensons. The secret formula is now owned by the people at Clorox Corp.
