My go-to meal at Texas Roadhouse is the Chicken Critter Salad. Tender fried chicken pieces on top a simple salad is what I like. What I crave, though, are the dressings. This copycat Texas Roadhouse Ranch salad dressing is a pretty close copy of my favorite. And I do mean favorite. I could drink this stuff. I always order two dressings at the restaurant. Without hesitation. Without fear of being judged. I am sure I’m not the only one.
I know what you’re probably thinking. He goes to a steakhouse for a salad? Yeah, I do. It’s a really good salad, with a really great dressing that I can now enjoy at home!
The Perfect Ranch Dressing
I always double the ingredients in this copycat Texas Roadhouse Ranch salad dressing. Not only is it great on my sorta-copycat of the Chicken Critter salad, it’s fantastic for dipping Buffalo wings and chips. It’s also perfect as a veggie dip for an afternoon snack. I also need more because well, I use a lot of it!
I have no idea how long this dressing would keep in the fridge. Sorry. It never lasts long enough to find out.
Also try my copycat of Texas Roadhouse’s honey mustard salad dressing.
This dressing is great for dipping wings. Check out For The Wing for great wing ideas!
