1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste
1/3 cup olive oi
1 head garlic
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons each of honey, Dijon mustard, white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoon black poppy seeds
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher sal
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons water
juice of one lime
1 tablespoon each rice or white vinegar, chopped peeled ginger, soy sauce, and honey
1/4 cup each butter milk and sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 a lemon
and salt and hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Classic Ranch: whisk 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each chopped parsley and chives, 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. (You can sub 1 tablespoon each of dried parsley and chives for the fresh) Once you start making homemade ranch, you'll never go back to the store-bought stuff again. SO GOOD! This is perfect for cob salads, to dip fries in, over chicken salads, and most any other salads with romaine and other leaf lettuces as the base.
  • Creamy Italian: Blend 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoon each sour cream and olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 clove garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
  • Classic Vinaigrette: Whisk 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil.
  • Roasted Garlic: Slice the top off 1 head garlic; drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil and roast at 400 degree until tender, about 35 minutes. Cool and then squeeze out the cloves. Blend the roasted garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste in a blender. I'm obsessed with this one. SO good! Make a double batch and use part of it for a marinade for chicken breast. It's also amazing on roasted vegetables. I made my freezer to slow cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs and served it with a simple side salad and this dressing last night and I couldn't get enough. Super easy, healthy, delicious, whole food meal the whole family loves.
  • Honey Mustard: Whisk 2 tablespoons each of honey, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. So easy, super classic, I love honey mustard dressing on all the things.
  • Honey Poppy Seed: Whisk 2 teaspoon black poppy seeds, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. This one I have around most of the time because it always hits the spot. This is great on salads with berries and other sweet fruits in them, it compliments them nicely.
  • Asian Sesame: Whisk 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. This dressing is also excellent on Asian inspired noodle recipes and chicken salads.
  • Peanut-Lime: Blend 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons water, the juice of one lime, 1 tablespoon each rice or white vinegar, chopped peeled ginger, soy sauce, and honey in a blender. This dressing is awesome on "quinoa" bowls (roasted veggies/protein/quinoa) and it's also excellent on fish.
  • Creamy Blue Cheese: Whisk 1/4 cup each butter milk and sour cream, 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and salt and hot sauce to taste. Here's a little secret, if blue cheese is too strong for you, you can actually make this with crumbled feta for a more mild dressing that is still wonderfully creamy and cheesy. Dip everything in this including hot wings.

RANCH DRESSING II



Ranch Dressing II image

This ranch dressing is great because it doesn't have all the chemicals and preservatives that many do. You can also use buttermilk in place of the sour cream, if you like.
