how do you make your homemade ranch
Well first you have to start with homemade mayonnaise but that's easy.
Homemade mayo:
1 1/4 cups light olive oil
1 large egg at room temp
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp salt
juice of 1/2 a lemon
Mix 1/4 cup olive oil and the rest of the ingredients together in a blender or food processor. We use a mason jar with a handheld blender and whisk attachment- this works awesome. As your mixer of choice is running, slowly drizzle the rest of the olive oil in. Two keys to thick and creamy mayo/dressing is having all of the ingredients at room temp and adding the last cup of olive oil very slowly so it emulsifies properly
Now, onto the ranch. There are a million ways to vary this so once you get the basics down experiment away
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup coconut cream
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh minced parsley
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, & black pepper
Whisk the liquids together in a bowl then mix in the spices until combined.
