Both are nowhere to be found in the stores. When we went to Subway at one point in time, we wanted to have a Sandwich with Ranch dressing, the guy told us they are not allowed to sell it in Germany. WAIT WHAT, WHY???
I do not understand that at all.
Well fine then, I'll make my own!!!!
So, I started experimenting with recipes and it actually worked.
Here are a couple of my favorite homemade dressing recipes.
Catalina dressing:
1 cup sugar2 tsp. salt
1 dash paprika
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. mustard
grated onion to taste or onion powder
1/2 cup vinegar
2/3 cup ketchup
1 cup olive oil
Whisk all ingredients together.
Ranch dressing:
3 scallions1/2 cup fresh basil
2 tbs. lemon juice
1 1/2 tbs. mustard
1 tbs. olive oil
2 gloves garlic
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Blend in a food processor until it makes a smooth mixture.
Add:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup buttermilk
Stir well and place in the refrigerator about 1 hour until flavors blend together.
Keep in mind, no additives, so the dressing's does not last as long as the store bought one.
Hope you like it.
Do you think dill might make for a good addition to the ranch? There's a sort of... herb-y taste to it that I'd be trying to approximate.
ReplyDeleteIf you use dill, keep in mind that it has a very overpowering taste. I would try it a little at a time to see if it alters the taste too much.
