When I first read over the recipe for homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing I thought it all sounded good. Except one thing. Onion? In my ranch dressing? I was hesitant. Was it a typo? Well, I hoped for the best and made it as it was written anyways. And boy, am I ever glad I did. This is easily one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, nevertheless had.
Ranch. Ish.
On the surface this homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing seems like a normal ranch dressing. It has the same consistency. Smells like ranch (yes I smell my dressings). Looks like ranch. But the onion adds a flavor that really makes it different and amazing.
No Rushing.
When I first made this and tasted it I found the onion to be crunchy and almost overpowering. I hoped for the best, putting in the fridge overnight to get happy. And it got happy. And I got happy. The onion softens and flavors the dressing perfectly.
I try to exercise control when I serve dressings for my salads. I use these little dipping cups to help stop me from just pouring it on. Well you can tell from my picture that it would’ve been impossible to put any more in my cup. I wanted more, that’s for sure.
Also try my avocado ranch salad dressing.
