My wife is a ranch dressing nut and to her the best ranch dressing she has ever had is at Red Lobster. They have sold her their ranch dressing several times. She buys it by the quart.
You should get her some Western dressing. Shewill be nice to you.
I like the restaurant style too, it is thin, bottled don't work for me either, although Ken's Caesar is pretty good.
This Restaurant Style Ranch Dressing recipe tastes EXACTLY like the one they serve at restaurants!!! The reason you can't find the same tasting ranch dressing at the grocery store as the one they serve at popular restaurants is because restaurants FRESHLY mix a dry seasoning mix with buttermilk or heavy whipping cream every day. The ranch dressing pre-packed in bottles at the grocery store have to have a very long shelf life. So they stuff those bottles with vinegar and other preservatives which gives the ranch dressing a funky taste and horrible smell compared to the ranch dressing served at restaurants. Now you can make it at home. You will never buy the bottled stuff ever again!! We hope you enjoy this recipe!
