BEST RANCH SALAD DRESSING RECIPES

Steps:

• Get out a medium sized bowl.
• Measure the mayonnaise into it.
• Gradually whisk in the buttermilk or yogurt.
• If you use powdered buttermilk, whisk in the powder first, and then slowly add a cup of water.
• Then add the seasonings. Whisk again.
• Or you can make it in the blender by putting everything into the blender and whirling until smooth.
• The mixture will be a little thin, but it will thicken on standing. Store in a pint size jar, makes 2-cups.
• Keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Tastes really good with yogurt by the way. This is my favorite way of making it. It tastes good with powdered buttermilk too, but the consistency is thinner than with yogurt.
• Note: If desired, you may add a tablespoon of Parmesan Cheese and/or a tablespoon of lemon juice to the dressing in addition to the seasonings above.

Steps:

• In a chilled salad bowl, add the greens and lightly coat the inside of the bowl with Ranch Dressing. Add the Croutons and toss lightly. Garnish with the tomatoes, avocado and bacon, serve immediately.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients and blend well with fork or stick blender. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the bread, until well combined. Adjust the seasoning, if needed. Add in the bread and mix well with your hands, tossing to coat all sides of cubes. Pour out onto a baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Store in an airtight container.
