📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the dressing recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
To make homemade ranch dip for fresh veggies, potato chips, French fries, chicken fingers, or buffalo wings, combine 1 cup sour cream or 1 cup of fat free Greek yogurt with 1 cup ranch dressing.
For more freshness in your homemade dressing, use fresh herbs instead of dry herbs. Fresh parsley and fresh dill really add something special. You can also add fresh garlic or fresh chives if you like.
