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 .

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 :)

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!

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!

Add 1/2 tsp of chipotle to this. Done.

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!!

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!

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

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.💖

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.

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

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".

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.
