I finally came up with a ranch dressing that was even better than the packaged, but it took a total rewrite of this recipe. This recipe took a lot of tweaking and a few tries to arrive at a satisfactory outcome. If you use the amount called for it will overpower everything else. There's a time, place and purpose for everything. If you have any dehydrated onion & garlic flakes use them! They add so much more depth of flavor. And, frankly, dried herbs taste MUCH better in this than fresh. Don't even try to use anything else as a thickener. Without the pulverized saltines this dressing will never set up and thicken correctly. The most important ingredient is missing from this recipe - saltine crackers. Omitted the onions chives added enough spiciness! Made this recipe per my 11 year old's request. My apologies to those purists who think modified recipes shouldn't get a rating.) Yum! (Pls note I'm being forced to rate before submitting my review, so I'm reviewing my version of the recipe with 3 forks. I've enjoyed 2 huges salads with it, and my husband used it as the sauce on his Buffalo Wing sandwich. Now, I have to admit, it's been about 20 years since I've had ranch dressing, but this dressing I ended up with is very good. I did use fresh parsley, chives and dill. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used a few tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, and I added about 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan. I read the reviews that othes left and decided just to substitute garlic powder and dried onions. Next time I'll cut back on the dill a bit - although it's delicious, it makes the dressing taste more like Dill than Ranch. This dressing tastes even better if you let the flavours meld in the fridge overnight. I also put the garlic & onion through a garlic press, which was much easier than using a mortar & pestle.

I couldn't find buttermilk so substituted plain greek yogurt, thinned out with a touch of milk, but kept it relatively thick consistency so didn't have the "too runny" problems that others had. This is very similar to my mothers, the chives and the parsley make it with a 1/4+ of white pepper, adds a small amount of heat. Unfortunately for Conde Nast, I no longer refer it as a favorite to my friends. The advertising and popups are irritating distractions when you are searching for specific information. Epicurious site has been changing through the years and I am not finding as many recipes with which I am happy. Many others that have reviewed it have commented as well. since I hadn't made ranch in a while I located this recipe and tried it. Well, I make dressings all the time and misplaced my favorite ranch dressing recipe. They don't sell Ranch Dressing over here, so i have nothing to compare it to, but I absolutely love it! My relatives love it aswell and beg me to make it for them. I tried adding more mayo, powedered buttermilk and will let it settle overnight. I read some reviews suggesting to thicken with ground saltines, but I try not to eat flour, so that won’t work for me.

While I loved the fresh taste, it was too heavy on the onion and garlic for me (and I love both) and so watery that it did not cling to the vegetables in my salad. Not only is it easy to make (it’s just a matter of whisking together some wet and dry ingredients), but it’s also very tasty! It’s creamy, tangy and flows through all of the folds in the iceberg wedge making each bite as delicious as the next.I’m among the cooks who was disappointed with this recipe. But I think there’s something to be said for this Whole30 Ranch. To be fair, the “Classic” pairing for a Wedge Salad is a thick and creamy, blue cheese and buttermilk dressing. You can try topping it with grilled chicken, shrimp, flank steak, fried shallots, toasted walnuts, or even some lobster! However, the world is your oyster, friends. In this “Classic” version, I keep things simple with some chopped tomatoes, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon and fresh chives. I love that this Wedge Salad puts iceberg on a pedestal and pays it the proper respect it deserves!Īside from the lettuce, Wedge Salad is all about the toppings. Sure, it’s not as nutritionally dense as its dark, leafy green cousins, but what it lacks in vitamins it makes up for in crunch. I don’t know about you, but I love me a good Wedge Salad! First and foremost, I think iceberg lettuce is supremely underrated.
