AmyS Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Do you make it? Do you love it? My kids will eat random roasted green veggies dunked in the stuff, and one daughter loves to make mayo. We are all obsessed with bacon. I'd like to switch them from the bottled dressing to homemade. (Also, then I could eat it too, plus I won't clog up the house with icky bottles of dressing that probably glow in the dark or something.) I know I could look up stuff online, but I'd love a Whole30er's tried and true recipe, if possible. Especially if you have kids or random picky eaters in your life who will eat it. Thanks in advance!

Susan W Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Amy, I think Well Fed has a ranch recipe that people go crazy about. Then you can just add crumbled bacon. If it isn't in Well Fed, then it's Nom Noms recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks, I will check. I thought I had looked through Well Fed but I'll look again. If not, nomnom it is. That reminds me. Take out the egg to make some mayo, grrrl! (I'm talkin' to myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terez Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 In Well Fed, Ranch dressing is a variation on the creamy Italian dressing "("You know how you could do that?"). I haven't made it, I only know because I was looking up salad dressing recipes today. (I ended up making a Caesar dressing that was in the booklet that came with my blender.)

Susan W Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes Terez, that's the one. Thank you for clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyS Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I looked at Well Fed and wasn't crazy about the ingredients list, so I went over to my Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook and found one that I thought I'd like, and that the kids would eat. I didn't have any bacon to add to it, but it tasted really good anyway. Too much garlic for my taste, but that's easily remedied next batch. Bonus - I roasted sweet potato slices in an attempt to make them palatable today. I still didn't like them. After dunking them in the ranch dressing, BAM, delish! I'm thinking roasted sweet potato slices, ranch dressing, and a chicken apple sausage will be a good breakfast tomorrow. Heehee Thanks for the tips, folks! I keep forgetting how easy it is to make all of this stuff. Really, the time it takes to make mayo, add a few things to it, and have ranch dressing - it's like ten minutes tops. Insane. And mindbogglingly cheaper than the grocery store versions of both items. Now I just have to convince my kids that the unnaturally white color and the preservative flavor of the bottled stuff just ain't right. Hold a good thought!
