The dressing the Washington Post called “extravagant and trashy” may not be fine dining but it sure is versatile. Here you will learn to make it from scratch, fold it into comforting snacks, sophisticated dips, grain bowls and salads, and use it in brunch favorites, marinades and pasta sauces. The creamy, peppery ranch is so far beyond salad dressing that it should never be sidelined.
