[@sbrunner69]

Try the naked cherry tomatoes. Amazing.

[@emilkvicktube]

thank you, you have just saved my life, i cant get ranch dressing in austria, now i can stay here for the rest of my life,

[@Reaper1947]

I made this according to the recipe , it doesn’t taste like bottled but it’s definitely ranch . After making it I thought it needed some thing , but I resisted like the author suggested and let it set up and let the ingredients mingle over night . The next morning to my pleasant surprise I had a keeper , and I didn’t have to tweak it al all . My compliments to the author . TheReaper!

[@bogard84]

Chef John, I love your commentary - never change that, ever. Cheers!

@@rufaro185 he always puts a link to it in the description where the arrow is under the title of the video. It takes you to his website. But I copied the link for you 😊 Here you go. foodwishes.blogspot.com/2012/10/ultimate-ranch-dressing-ultimate.html

[@arielphillips3420]

Can I be honest? When I watched your ketchup video I thought "wow...what a joke." And the. I watched more of your videos and I am so sorry for ever thinking that! Your videos are so refreshing. They're informative without being too serious. Life is too short to not find a little humor in everything. Keep doing what your doing! I can't wait to try some of these recipes :)

[@brandontolon7111]

Ariel Phillips your cute😘

[@lorrie2878]

I made the "prison meatloaf" and my husband loved it!. Lots of filler, very moist!

[@lorrie2878]

@infusion dude no! But it is a good recipe.

[@Philtabit49]

Wow. I'm just now getting to the party. 🤣🤣🤣. I first tried your mayo recipe and it came out awesome. Today, I grew bolder by making this ranch dressing. I'll update after I taste it tomorrow. You're a gem. Thank you so much!

[@KennethJAdams]

Chef John, as a European I had never tried ranch dressing until two weeks ago, when I made this recipe. Now I understand my American friends who complain they can't get it anywhere here. This stuff is great! How long can I keep it in the fridge? Because I don't want to make it only for barbecues with friends, I want to have ranch everyday with my lunch!

[@robertcole9391]

There's more uses for ranch dressing than just on salad. Try a homemade chicken bacon ranch pizza. Don't knock it till you try it. Grilled chicken strips on pizza dough (no pizza sauce) drizzle the ranch over the chicken, add crumbled bacon, then cover with a generous amount of cheese and bake. Dipping sauce for many items. The use of good ranch dressing will enhance many meals.

[@leggingsarepants3175]

YES

[@Lixx34899]

Robert Cole that sounds amazing!

[@eclecticaeclectica3125]

Give some credits to: Tasty channel, where you found these tips. "Genius"

[@AlexiasPlaylist]

Robert Cole add some Franks Red Hot and you got a buffalo chicken pizza 😉

[@AlexiasPlaylist]

Eclectica Eclectica ps I didnt get this from tasty the italian restaraunt I helped open up would only serve it to us staff when no one was around. Guess the italian owner was embarrassed to have his customers see a buffalo chicken pizza lmao

[@DaSmokinB0ss]

Please don't charge for your videos. They're great for those of us that don't have a lot of extra income. I have watched your videos for years and love just about every one. I've also learned many great cooking ideas and silly puns; they're invaluable. Thank you, Chef John!!

[@sebastiansfeci1305]

watching pepper being ground might not be that exciting. But watching AND hearing it? A whole nother story :)

[@eclecticaeclectica3125]

seb watching, hearing and Smelling it!😊

[@paulinaalfaro6753]

2am, feverish, and my only thought was, “how does one make ranch dressing?” Chef John always comes in clutch.

[@Areezaintheaisj]

I love how I can always hear a smile in ''and as always.. enjoy!''

[@saltycrow]

Finally got around to making this. I followed pretty much, except my chives were passed their prime. They were gross in fact, so I used minced spring onion which was very fresh. Just the top, greenest parts. And my grocery store didn't have any decent Italian flat leaf, so I bought curly parsley instead. I rather like the flavor of curly better anyway. That flat leaf doesn't have very much flavor, unless it's just what the store carries is low quality? Mixed the rest, even Chef John's addicting Crème Fraîche that I've been making regularly now, and it tastes sooo, sooo good. I just need to clean & chop my celery and carrots and I'll have my sides for the shrimp I'm cooking tonight for supper. Chef John does have the best recipes. I love this channel.💖

[@mm-nk3qe]

I just made it. I tasted it and I am over the moon, it tasted great. I will check it tomorrow as I am gonna leave it in the fridge overnight. Can't wait!

[@ionasphere7315]

Your voice has a enchanting rhythm in your delivery....It is as if you are friend sharing a moment. I love the way your voice is your is your paint brush the ingredients are your colors and the recipe is your painting on a canvas. Love it!

[@Dalton325]

I love ranch dressing. It's my favorite. I'm really glad to see it on here as Chef John makes everything so easy and fun to understand. I'm going to finish off the ranch and then try the blue cheese. I have a family of four who also likes ranch, so I doubled the recipe thinking it would last a good while. It's been 5 days and it's almost gone. I think it tastes almost exactly like good ranch used to taste. I used to love the stuff in the bottle, but then it started getting a funny taste. I still really like the ranch you can make with the powder, so maybe they just changed their mayo base for the bottled stuff. The only thing I find different with this recipe is that you get a after hit of dill flavor. I think I like that though. We're making burgers tonight, so I'm gonna have ranch with my fries and try his "steak sauce" on my burger. I do want to try leaving out some of the ingredients and see how it tastes. I understand adding Worcestershire and cayenne, but I don't think you can taste those small quantities. I'll have to make two side by side to see. I'd also like to figure out how to premix my spices and how much of them to add once I do.

[@sicariusperemo3789]

Well sometimes it doesn't take much for you to be able to taste it, and sometimes it's more of an effect than taste, like Cayenne Pepper, just gives things a boost, in small quantities, then no, it won't be strong or flavorful, but just like salt brings out flavor, or cooked down Vodka, which also makes the effect, of bringing out other flavors, Cayenne does the same, and so does Worcestershire Sauce :) Also about premixing spices, it's just a question of math, if you use this mix, you can see that the ingredients are for one batch, so just use double or triple or however many quantities you need :)

[@christopherj5780]

Chef John, ive been watching you since this pandemic started. Ive started to include a dash of cayenne in pretty much everything. Im really liking it.

[@fig4159]

Just made this & it's FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for the recipe! I'm off to check out the rest of your channel. I've been cooking for 48 years, but I still love trying new recipes - especially healthier versions of what passes today as "food".

[@brianavandertoorn5228]

Every recipe of Chef John's that I've tried has always been absolutely delicious. Excited to give this one a try. :)

[@thetrainwreck1469]

I made this ranch dressing (with homemade mayo) and your creme fraiche recipe also. It was perfect. Thank you!

[@rainbowpandasays8851]

You lucky dog you.

[@okashi10]

Perfect for those who live in countries where it's hard to buy good ranch. Thanks!

[@cheryl8466]

I tried out this recipe this last week. I ended up having to make an extra batch! It was perfect! Since I can't have blue cheese right now, I had to opt for Ranch to go with my Buffalo wings. It was Great! I'm weird when it comes to mayo and I don't like when dressing taste too much of Mayo. That was far from the case with this recipe! I thought about it, and now that I have all of the ingredients, I may end up just making my own ranch from here on out! This Ranch with hand cut French fries is addictive, to Anyone who enjoys that kind of thing.. lol You've been warned! lol

[@Dalton325]

I'm working my way through Chef John's great recipes. This one is excellent. I always liked ranch, though in the last few years the bottle ranch has changed and I don't like it. The powder is still good, so they probably just changed the mayo on the bottle. This recipe is quick and super good. The only difference between this and store bought is a stronger dill taste, which I prefer. I do recommend leaving it over night as it doesn't taste right till everything has a chance to sit and combine.

[@MariaRivera-cz1vm]

One of my kids NEEDS ranch on EVERYTHING! Without even trying your recipe I'm in! You're demeanor is amazingly attractive. Thank you and I will try this this week!!! TBC 😳

[@averagebetty]

Awesome sauce! And no "hidden" MSG :) Love you, Chef John!!

[@princeaceroyale]

How would you know if it's hidden? Lol

[@princeaceroyale]

Also MSG is great

[@woofpuppy]

I don't get it

[@cyndifoore7743]

I missed it and went back to listen, too funny.

[@Bunjamin27]

...low key? I guess.. if being hit over the head with a bright orange frying pan is low key lol

[@isodoublet]

Yeah I have no fucking clue what you people are talking about.

[@michaellee1688]

Back again for the dressing. Everyone loves it. Ty chef.

[@jacquelineismeX]

I don't cook to often but your videos always amaze me lol.

[@mmb4427]

I made this and can attest that it is easy and just so delicious. My local Whole Foods Carries crème fraiche (Sorry, Chef). Very fresh. I’m going to have to grow my own herbs so that I’ll have them on hand at all times to make this.

[@optimisticwreck]

When you started stirring, I started to imagine the sound of whisk on aluminum pan. Glad it didn't happen. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I need to start making my own. :)

[@djkarmatic]

great point, I don't eat eggs either. You can use veganaisse which tastes very similar to mayo. Also you can make it with an egg substitute, water, mustard, oil, sugar, and a splash of white vinegar. Try it! They also sell vegan worchestershire sauce.

[@tomfurgas2844]

I tried this using basil instead of parsley. Magnificent!

[@laceypennies]

Butter lettuce and ranch dressing are a match made in heaven.

[@tojive77]

u have saved my family from many, many nights of papa johns! everything I make of yours they love!

[@tangramman]

I've never had a ranch dressing I liked. However! I will make this to attempt to convince myself otherwise. Thank you, Cheffy J.

[@oddynasser2136]

I cant eat salad without dressing &I have tried this recipe with little Mayo Its delicious.

[@gerrit3317]

I've been waiting forever for this. I love you, Chef John.

[@foodwishes]

Interesting idea. I'll look into that. Thanks!

[@EugenieKitchen]

Hm.. gotta make this ASAP! Ty chef!!

[@klsdfjh23]

this has to be the 10th video that I've watched and promised myself I'd make for my family this thanksgiving. Chef John I can't cook an entire thanksgiving meal!

[@DivaliciousMD]

Loved this recipe. No need to buy the bottled stuff ever again. Thanks!

[@rneustel388]

We never bought the bottled but used the buttermilk mix packet. I'm sure this will be much better with the added tang of creme fraiche.

[@glenn2595]

Thanks for the video. About fresh ingredients, my mom makes a cucumber salad with cucumbers, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill and pickle juice. Over the years I've improved on it by adding fresh dill, however fresh diced onion, totally ruins it, the onion powder is far superior, and leaving the onion powder out doesn't give it that great taste. Fresh minced garlic, if you eat it the same day, is better than garlic powder, the next day they are about the same and after that garlic powder is better as the fresh garlic grows too strong. I attended a Japanese blue fin tuna cutting event and the fisherman said most people think if you have this sushi on the boat it would be the best, but in reality it wouldn't taste too good. Apparently, like a really good aged steak, tuna has to be hung for a few days to develop that great taste. So fresh is not always best.

[@samanthafox3124]

I am team Chef John 100%. It's 50% for the dad jokes and bad puns, and 50% delicious recipes! 😋

[@alicianalexv]

I luv it Chef John. And I would have never thought to add wistochiere to Ranch dressing.

[@MissSwaggaLovesYou]

love the humor!

[@eileenfb1948]

This looks very good, thank you Chef John. Worcester sauce is pronounced wooster sauce here in the UK. I knew what you meant and that’s more important. Love your videos.

[@OndriaGG]

My secret ingredient is pickle juice. Try it... it rocks.

[@scottlawson1522]

Ooooo I could see that

[@expo1706]

Multumim Chef John. Arata super!! Am vazut mai multe retete pentru Ranch, dar am sa o incerc pe dvs.

[@taibug7813]

Yum! Can you do more salad videos? I'm a pretty good cook foremost things, but for some reason I fail at salads. Help me Chef John, you're my only hope!

I had to comment, as another John, Chef John is hilarious. I was cracking up the whole time. Bravo bro

[@toby071]

I use butter milk and yogurt instead of mayo and sour cream.... equal amounts..

[@Redmau]

fh horn and how was it?

[@toby071]

It's good..but since I have added a slight amount of sour cream...

Never liked ranch dressing, but I'm willing to give homemade a shot! Thanks Chef John!

[@gregmoore66]

Chef John, also, try half mayo and half buttermilk, plus seasonings. This is the original recipe that people fell in love with at Hidden Valley Guest Ranch near Santa Barbara.

I have a feeling this one will get you another million+ views.

[@susandavis3544]

I've never been able to eat ranch dressing because of that grossest of ingredients- MSG! Kuddos to you, Chef John, for making a ranch dressing without the dreaded MSG.

[@Ilovemymalteses]

I love your videos, not only give so many good ideas on how to cook, it also very funny and entertaining.

[@winter2625]

Literally my favorite food.

[@jayseehamm9761]

I love how everything chef John says sounds a little bit like a question. Makes me think of a cool uncle who is trying to tell you all the stuff he knows without being too arrogant about it like "Hey, this is how I do it--try it yourself. Make changes. Discover something you like more, hm?"

[@fan333lux]

[@Ultracity6060]

This is pretty good, but I recommend replacing the mayo with equal parts cayenne.

[@yirbubmengeste4039]

Amazing as usual!!!!

[@lashondascott622]

Best recipes ever. I just made. Family loved it

[@danielfawley4711]

I have a similar recipe for ranch dressing. My difference is just a splash of white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar just to add a touch more tanginess. Also I add a bit of chopped Italian parsley and leave out the dried tarragon.

[@feltmatemily]

@aqupodoben Yogurt and whole milk or cream. Won't be as tangy, but I just used yogurt in a homemade ranch dressing a couple of days ago when I was all out of creme fraiche. It was still yummy!

[@sortedsortof3474]

The ranchers become so attached to their animals that they all become salad eaters. I'm glad that you explained that to us.

[@apebblebutt6009]

1:26 "youre gonna need some a that" so understated. 10/10

Ranch dressing actually originated on a ranch -- the Hidden Valley Guest Ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif. According to the Hidden Valley Web site, the owners made a dressing with herbs, spices and buttermilk in the 1950s, and the dressing caught on with their guests.
