Oh, at first I thought you were suggesting to try it on an intern and I thought what a great idea. If you can get an intern to cooperate, it'd be like the new jello shots. For a brief moment you were a genius, but sadly, not any more.
Ranch is just unreasonably good. I just had some ranch
::: spoiler food reference
dressing with chicken nuggies and crystal hot sauce
:::
for dinner and it was so good.
If you have stale bread, throw it in the freezer until you've got a bunch, then chop it up, toss it in melted butter and hidden valley ranch powder, and then bake them. World-class croutons.
I tried it once to see what Americans were fussing about constantly on TV etc, I wasn't very impressed with it. Its Basically a overpriced version of a cheap salad cream with chives from what I could gauge.
Was the Newmans brand I bought, not saying it's awful but to me I'd go thousand Island over Ranch any single day of the week.
Bottled ranch dressing from the store is never good in my experience (even the bottled hidden valley ranch). You need ranch from a restaurant (which can be hit or miss depending on the place) or make the ranch at home. You need hidden valley ranch powder, buttermilk, mayo, and sour cream.

I mix it with plain greek yoghurt to create ranch dip.
Broken_Monitor@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Or sour cream. Then slam that on everything. But mostly potatoes. And dip all other veggies in it.

Probably because the powder absorbs the fat, thereby retaining moisture

Bread sticks. Brush with melted butter. Dust with ranch powder.
Bacon. Dust immediately after it finishes cooking. Eat as is or do things with the bacon (burgers, sandwiches, pizza)
French fries. (Edit: call them 'franch fries'!)
Sautéed mushrooms, or green beans.
I feel like you could start a series of posts: "[food item], 10/10 with ranch"

Put it in fried chicken dredge. Or just on chicken that will be baked. Shit's super good on those.
Add it to sour cream and just have ranch dressing chip dip.
Gordon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Similarly, ranch powdered baked pork chops are super delicious. Get the thin sliced ones if you can find them

Chex mix. Add a little oil and spread it out on a baking sheet. Toss in the oven for a little bit to really get it in there.

Use it as a salt replacement. I’m pretty sure it contains MSG.

Chicken breasts. Rub the powder into the meat then fry them in a skillet with oil and/or butter.

Hidden Valley Ranch is the only ranch.
If you've tried anything else you haven't tried ranch dressing.
