  • This ranch dressing hits all the right notes but is better than the stuff you can buy at the supermarket.
    Here's the basic recipe:
    1/2 cup full-fat yogurt
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons granulated garlic
    1 teaspoon granulated onion
    2 whole garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
    1/4 cup minced fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons minced fresh chives or 2 teaspoons dried chives
    1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon or lime
    Pinch cayenne or other hot pepper powder
    Salt to taste
    Whisk it all together, let it sit for at least a couple hours in the fridge or preferably overnight.
    Here's the Renegade Cut episode about the Matrix that I mentioned: • The Matrix - Renegade Cut

    Friendly FYI. There's a discrepancy between the video recipe and the recipe in the description. Follow what Kenji does in the video and only use *one* clove of garlic, *not two* as it says in the description. I made the recipe last night and followed the description and I ended up with Garlic sauce instead of ranch dressing. All the other ingredient measurements are good :)

    I, as a Belgian, have never had ranch before, because I don't think we have it here. I've looked it up couple a times but never really got to try and make it because it usually was in (to) small batches, to really make it for a group. I did however wanna try to make it for myself with one of the first recipes I found online but decided afterwards to not try to give it to my guests the day after. However you seem to give me a complete different idea of what I first read and will most likely try this again soon! I've been stoked to taste this most beloved American condiment. I'll try this and maybe a buttermilk 'original' version of this! I'll keep my thoughts posyed here!

    Hey Kenji, would you be interested in doing a kitchen layout tour video? I think people would be interested in how you set up your kitchen at home, what you like, how you use it, and what'd you'd change if anything at all. Thanks!

    Man i wondered what ranch was after hearing it referenced everywhere (European here). On top of that you shout out one of my favorite channels, you're alright ranch man.
