If you are a lover of ranch dressing, whom among you, after pouring some of this rich, creamy dressing on a mess of garden fresh lettuce, would not take a bite, sigh, and say: I am home. I love a lot of different dressings but a good homemade ranch has got to be in my top five. Full Stop. Okay, this is an awesome ranch dressing, and the reason that I call it “Almost” Classic Ranch Dressing, you get people saying: That is not “my” classic ranch dressing. So, I do not wish to offend anyone by calling it classic… However, it is classic to me. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
