I love the fresh herbs in this recipe. No more Hidden Vally packets for me! My only complaint is that when I made the recipe, I used home-made mayonnaise and it came out very runny (probably because the home made mayo is thin). Maybe next time I'll try with store bought....

Jackpot! Hubs and I both responded favorably at the same time as this hit our mouths. A most excellent, fresh tasting dressing with a perfect balance of each of its components. Other than using equal amounts of the mayonnaise and sour cream I prepared this exactly as written. I loved the combination of herbs and I was particularly fond of the addition of the minced red pepper, which added a lot of character - in flavor, in color, and in texture. One of the best dressings I've tried from this site; one that could easily make me eat a lot more salad! I served this with a tossed salad of baby spinach, Romaine lettuce, English cucumber and sliced avocado.

This dressing is very good and beautiful to look at as well. I added twice as much lemon juice because I like a tangier ranch, and the flavour was great. Used it last night as a dip for oven baked zucchini sticks, and I will use it tonight for garden stuffed potatoes, from this site. Thanks!

This was very tasty and simple enough to make. I had to resort to dried dill as it's the one herb I didn't plant this year. I cut back a bit on the cilantro and I'm very glad I did as it was a predominant flavor. I think the full amount would have been far too much and masked the other flavors in this dressing. This was wonderful on a fresh garden salad.

I wanted to love this dressing; I've been making my own and still looking for a great ranch. I knew two raw shallots would be overpowering, based on past experience. But, unfortunately, just one was too much as well...all I could taste was raw shallot. I'm not sure what to do about that, but if I figure it out, I'll finally have the homemade ranch I'm looking for.

The use of fresh herbs and veggies instead of powders makes a BIG difference. If you're going to use powdered this and that, may as well buy a pouch of dried Hidden Valley! My Family gave a hearty round of applause on this one. They didn't think Ranch dressing could be made from scratch and I made a lighter version of this with yogurt and light sour cream! The longer it sits the better it tastes. Made this two days before we ate it since plans changed.. it was loaded with flavor.
