DIRECTIONS

  1. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy

  2. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.

  3. If you'd like a thinner dressing, blend in a little more half-and-half or milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.


Tips

  • As the dressing chills, it will naturally thicken. Simply stir in a splash of half-and-half or milk before serving, and always shake before serving.

  • For a spicy ranch, stir in 1 tablespoon of Frank's RedHot®, or hot sauce of choice, or more to taste

  • For even more protein, you can substitute ¼ cup of the half-and-half with blended low-fat cottage cheese. It makes the ranch extra creamy while boosting the protein without significantly changing the flavor.

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a brighter, tangier flavor.

  • If serving as a dip, consider adding bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese

  • Fresh chopped dill, parsley, or chives make a delicious addition if you have them on hand.
