Recently, on a random Tuesday, Miles and I decided to uber over to Ruth’s Chris overlooking Ronald Regan National Airport — or as it will always be known to me: National. I thought it was kinda whimsical and a little decadent to go to a high-end steakhouse on a Tuesday.
Obviously we ordered steak, but for some reason that night I had a hankering for Ranch Dressing. So glad I did! Miles and I ordered the chopped salad with Ranch. It was sooo delicious! I told the waiter I was going to go home and search for the recipe online. I could already picture myself googling: ruth’s chris copycat ranch dressing!
He laughed and said, “Not necessary. I’ll tell you what it is.” I was reaching for my iPhone to write down the recipe when I hear, “buttermilk, mayonnaise, and Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning.” Huh? Could it be that simple?
I got a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch. Ordered some buttermilk from the farm. Delicious. Easy. Homemade. And no matter how easy a homemade dressing is, it always impresses!
