Ranch Dressing with Iceberg Wedge

Course: Salad
Keyword: ranch
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk depending on how thick you want the dressing
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • 2 heads iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  • prinkle the salt over the garlic. With a fork, mash the garlic and salt together to make a paste. The finer the better, as the garlic is very strong in the finished dressing.
  • Add all the dressing ingredients to a bowl and stir together gently, adjusting the seasons as needed. Make the ranch dressing all yours -- add in more of what you like.
  • Chill the dressing for at least 2 hours before serving. Thin with milk if needed.
  • Wash and dry the iceberg lettuce and cut into wedges. Arrange the wedges on a platter and drizzle the ranch dressing over the top. Be generous with the dressing, since it needs to reach all the lettuce in the wedge.
  • Other uses for homemade ranch dressing:
  • Serve as a dip for carrot and celery sticks.
  • Mix in crumbled blue cheese and serve with Buffalo wings.
  • Drizzle on a submarine sandwich.
  • Pour into a hollowed-out red cabbage and serve on a fancy crudite platter.
