Thread: Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing

thanks for the info everyone!! i'm going to walmart for some stuff *thanks to the people who sent me coupons!!!!* and i'm gonna look there!

Tonia,
I make the same recipe without the MSG, I'm a ranch dressing fan..

A lot of people have to avoid the MSG for one reason or another.

I'm one that has to avoid MSG. It gives me head aches really bad.

I am all for making both of these recipes!!!

This is a recipe that I have and it tastes exactly the same as the kind we use to make at a restaurant I worked at. We used the powder mix you buy at the grocery store and added it to the gallon size mayonnaise jars and added buttermilk to thin. We went through a lot of dressing! This recipe allows you to make just enough for a few salads and you can store the powder mix to have on hand. It is really good. I have made this at home and it tastes exactly the same. Hope you enjoy it.

FAMOUS RECIPE SALAD DRESSING

2 tsps. salt
2-3 tsps. parsley flakes
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Mix together first 5 ingredients and store in a small, tightly covered container until needed. Combine 2 tsps. of the powder mix with remaining ingredients; taste and add extra seasonings as desired. For a thicker salad dressing, add more mayo. If you like it thinner add more buttermilk.

I'm also not a fan of MSG, sorry I didn't even mention that you don't have to use it. If you go through the dressing like we do, it really wouldn't matter if you use it or not. I really don't notice the difference, because I dont use it. Thanks JoAnn for the info, I wasn't think to clearly I guess when I posted this.

i made this and the hubbie liked it. he ate it with tacos. lol

I made this recipe without 1/4 tsp. Accent and it tasted very good--Thanks for this recipe.
