Ranchy goodness
I adore ranch dressing. I think it’s yummy on salads, wraps, burgers and fries. Anything that is lacking in flavor can generally be helped by a little ranch dressing. However I have not found a single store-bought bottle of ranch that tastes like the kind they serve in restaurants. Why is that?? Hidden Valley, Wishbone, and Kraft all taste like vinegar with a little oil and cream added in. It’s gross wannabe ranch dressing. I loooove the ranch they serve at Denny’s, the deli in my office building and numerous other restaurants. It’s creamy, garlicky and flavorful. Why don’t they bottle that stuff and sell it? I would so buy it! The closest I’ve been able to come to it is Ken’s Buttermilk Ranch. But it’s just not the same.
Has anyone ever made their own ranch dressing? If I could make my own that would be cool too… so long as it tasted like I was sitting at Denny’s!
