Ranch dressing originates from America. It is a salad dressing made mainly with mayonnaise, buttermilk, herbs and spices. Popular herbs that are used in this dressing are chives, parsley and dill, on top of that pepper, ground paprika and mustard are used in it as well. Ranch dressing has a creamy, thick consistency and a fresh and aromatic smell, mainly due to the addition of fresh herbs.
Preparing ranch dressing is super easy and quick, and the only thing that takes a minute is chopping up the herbs. Other than that, there’s really no need to do anything else, just mix all the ingredients together. Homemade ranch dressing should be stored in the fridge for no longer than 3-4 days, especially if you use fresh herbs to prepare it.
This dressing is a great addition to salads, sandwiches, roasted poultry and roasted vegetables. I recommend you the following recipe for ranch dressing and I wish you a tasty meal.
