Ranch has quickly passed up ketchup as the favorite condiment in our house. E requests "ench" at just about every meal and dips everything from carrots to apple slices in the creamy goodness. Until recently I truly thought I was doing good just buying the "light" variety of a popular ranch brand. Ummmm, NO! Have you looked at the ingredients? What the heck is disodium guanylate? Rule number one - if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it!!
I decided step one to unprocessing our lives would be getting rid of the bottled stuff. I tried out this recipe from the Pioneer Woman (love her!) and it passed the picky four year old test. Wahoo!! I decided I couldn't put jarred mayo in my homemade ranch, so I whipped up a batch of that, too.
Homemade Ranch Dressing (From Pioneer Woman)
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup parsley, minced
2 tbsp dill
1 tbsp chives
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk (depending on desired consistency
I just threw everything into the food processor and mixed it up for a bit. Both boys said it was delish. Point for Mom!
