I have tried many times to make salad dressings and although I may like the more vinegar based, tangy dressings my family really prefers ranch.  It’s the ONLY way my 4 year old son will eat salad.  I really didn’t want to buy any store bought versions of ranch. They all have MSG and a bunch of other nasty ingredients.  I have tried a few homemade ranch recipes and this is my favorite!

I still do use a bit of mayonnaise.  I have not yet attempted to make my own yet but… this recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of mayo.  I feel like it really adds to the flavor and makes it taste like the store bought version and if that’s all it takes to get my family to eat a bit of salad at the dinner table then I am willing to bend a little and use mayo.

You can also add this seasoning mix straight to sour cream to create a yummy ranch dip for veggies.

I usually double this recipe just so I don’t have to make it so often.  You can also half it easily if you want to make less.
