Okay, I admit it. I love ranch dressing. I a ranch aficionado. It really goes great on anything, and being from Texas, we put it on mostly everything. The problem I face is, there is just too much BAD ranch out there. Not all ranch is created equal. For me, it it comes in a bottle, it's crap. I just can't get excited about a squeeze bottle of Ranch Dressing. It's so full of stabilizers, emulsifiers, and preservatives, that its no longer ranch. It's more like a science experiment then a salad dressing. I decided that I needed to make my own ranch dressing, and I didn't want to use a packet to do so! This is a simple great recipe, that has all the great flavor of ranch, and none if the crap that you don't want.
Food Doofus Ranch
