"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."

I have been on a three-year quest to find the perfect ranch dressing recipe, and I finally found it! This is great! I did make modifications to suit our Texas taste buds (ranch dressing is a condiment here!), but this is a wondeful start. My modifications are to 1) Change the mayo/sour cream/buttermilk to 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2)Increase the garlic to 1/2 tsp., and 3) Add 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (for consistency). Thanks Dawnia!

I'm a chef in Southern, CA, and 27 years old...best 'simple' recipe for ranch/house dressing that I've ever made in a pinch. I had suprise guests come over, and my buddy loves my cobb salad. I left my recipes at work, and needed to make a good blue cheese dressing. I looked up this recipe and then added a tsp. of worstechire sauce, and gorgonzola cheese to make the blue cheese dressing and it was great. I saved half of the original ranch dressiing and had it woth some buffalo wings, carrot, and celery the next night, and by then it had developed a fantastic flavor. GREAT RECIPE. Chef Dave

This is absolutely the best ranch dressing I have ever tasted! I make it all the time for my husband and when I have guests over. Everyone asks for the recipe! If I use it as a dip I leave it just the way it is. As a salad dressing I thin it out a bit with 2% milk. Always yummy!
