Ranch sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make ranch sauce? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Use thick sour cream. It can be replaced with mayonnaise and buttermilk. Buttermilk is a fermented milk product similar in consistency to thick yogurt. Buttermilk can be found in the store in powder form, which must be diluted with water to make a sauce. It is better to use mayonnaise with a neutral taste. Instead of fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but in the first option the sauce will be more tender and more aromatic.

2. STEP 2

   

   A mixture of green onions, parsley and dill is used as herbs for the ranch sauce. Wash the greens thoroughly and dry with paper towels. Finely chop the parsley and dill with a knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   Finely chop the green onions with a knife. To create a special pleasant aftertaste, you can add a couple of basil leaves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them with a knife, grate them or pass them through a press. You can use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place sour cream in a bowl. Add herbs and garlic. Add mustard powder, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, add a little sugar to balance the taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything thoroughly. To give the sauce a pleasant sour taste, add a little lemon juice to it. Instead of lemon juice, you can use vinegar: balsamic, apple or wine. Stir the mixture. Let it cool a little in the refrigerator and serve as a salad dressing or hot dish. Bon appetit!

I was looking on the website for a recipe for a delicious salad dressing and found this ranch sauce. The composition is very varied and you can immediately see that it should turn out delicious. It's very easy to prepare. I usually make something like this for chicken, only without the spices. Out of the entire list, I didn't have green onions, they're hard to find now. But even without it it turned out very tasty. I added a little more paprika than other spices, I love it. The sauce with it acquired a reddish tint. I was surprised by the addition of dry mustard, but it turned out no worse than with ready-made mustard. I put the garlic through a press, so it’s smaller and gives more juice. I love adding freshly ground black pepper, it’s so flavorful! The sauce was just fire! It has so many different tastes and aromas) I took one clove of garlic, I thought it would be enough with so many spices, but after trying it I added one more. Sour cream has a neutral taste, so the spices reveal their flavor perfectly. All the sauce didn’t reach the salad) I spread some of it on bread and ate it just like that) Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I recommend to all!
