I am excited to start sharing recipes!
Without further adieu, here's the Ranch Dressing. And by the way, I have named it Muchang Dressing because the word "ranch" is "muchang" in Pinyin. And I am perfectly aware that this Chinese word for ranch probably doesn't mean dressing. But I thought it had a good ring to it anyway and my kids like to say "muchang".
Muchang Dressing
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 Tbl milk, half&half, heavy cream--whatever (be ready to add a few more Tbl)
2 or 3 Tbl lemon juice
1 (small for me) clove garlic, chopped
2 tsp grated onion (I use the part of the cheese grater with the tiny holes)
1 Tbl minced chives
1 Tbl minced parsley
scant 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
Throw all of the above into the food processor or blender and whip it up. Give it a taste. Adjust lemon, salt, pepper and add another Tbl or two of milk to thin it if needed. I personally like the dressing to be thick and it's way easier to make it thinner than to try to make it thicker if your initial result is too thin! I used a brand other than Fage to make this and it was a considerably wetter yogurt to begin with so it will depend on your brand too.
Isn't it the most exciting thing--ranch dressing with no mayo, no oil, no eggs and no unpronouncables... I am still not over it.
