Southerners love their ranch dips and dressings. Ranch dip at parties, ranch on salads, dry packets of ranch powder mixed into hamburgers and all sorts of meals. Heck, even on your buffalo wings instead of stinky feet cheese dips. My niece, Kiersten, (hi sis) was a veggie hater but stick a plate full of chopped carrots in front of her and a bowl of ranch and that girl would go to town.
Having said that, I am sure that one of you will now pipe up and let me know how much you hate the stuff but I may have a remedy. Behold the power of homemade ranch dressing. I have been eating this stuff a bit too much lately but boy o boy is it goooood.
Homemade Ranch Dressing and Dip
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 C mayo (please don't grab the Miracle Whip. It just isn't the same)
1/2 bunch green onions chopped into tiny bits(you can use just the green bits but I like the whites and greens - grab a breath mint)
1-2T fresh chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, smashed, minced or pressed
1/4-1/2t Tony Cachere's original seasoning
salt to taste, I use 2-3 pinches
For dip: mix it all up and you are good to go
For dressing: add a bit of milk until it is thin enough to suit you
I would be showing you a picture here but I sent the last of it with Chuck for lunch. Yum.
