Ranch is a type of creamy salad dressing originating in the USA in the 1950s. It has been the best selling salad dressing in the USA since 1992, and almost half of Americans consider it their favorite dressing.
The creamy part of a Ranch dressing is usually some mixture of buttermilk, sour cream and mayonnaise. The dry ingredients are very simple: onion flakes, garlic powder, parsley, dill, chives, salt and pepper.

Is your recipe equal to the amount you would find in a single envelope in the store? So that when a recipe calls for a package of ranch dressing, this would be that amount.
What can I use instead of dried chives? If I don’t use the chives will the flavor of the mix be off?
Thank you. Love your blog 🙂
Hi! To be honest, I would just omit the chives if you don’t have it, and add a bit more of the other herbs. It wouldn’t be exactly the same of course, but it should still be tasty!
