What's recipe do you follow for making good ranch salad dressing at home?

I go to Sam's Wholesale and buy the Ranch Dressing mix or you can get in the grocery store in a packet. It is a dry mix you mix with mayo or milk. Or make a dip with sour cream.It is delicious!

So easy, the way to go.

One of my favorite dressings is Lemon Dill Salad Dressing. It's very flavorful, so you don't have to put a lot on the salad. You need only four ingredients to make it yourself, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh and buttermilk.

Without, buttermilk it won't be ranch. However, assuming you are using the dden Valley Ranch dried spice packet, you could increase the mayonaise by 1/3 and add Soy milk until it gets the desired consistancy.

One option for you *might* be Frontier Herbs Certified Organic Ranch Salad Dressing Mix. They also make a dip mix. It's available at health food stores.

The ingredient list says the flavoring contains corn and dairy derivatives and lactic acid. Have you tried subbing plain kefir for the buttermilk? I know many commercial buttermilks are artificially thickened with wheat-derived ingredients.Is that the source of the trouble for you?

Lifeway kefir is supposed to be gluten-free. It's thick and a bit tart like buttermilk. Here is an excellent recipe for ranch dressing.

Just swap out the buttermilk for Kefir and you should be good to go: Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives 1/4 teaspoon of dry dill (or a teaspoon chopped fresh) In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk and mayonnaise until fully mixed. Add in the other ingredients, adjusting for taste. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Keeps for a week, covered in the fridge. For myself, I'd make it with soured raw milk instead of buttermilk, but you may not have that available. Sour raw milk gets pretty thick and nicely tart, not putrid like pasteurized milk does.

It's a good substitute. Real buttermilk is very thin and delicious, but wouldn't work in modern ranch recipes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
