Here’s a classic Ranch dressing recipe, creamy, tangy, and versatile for salads, dipping, or drizzling over roasted veggies.
🥗 Classic Ranch Dressing Recipe
🧂 Ingredients (makes ~1 cup)

If you want, I can also give a quick 5-minute blender version of ranch that’s super creamy and smooth—no whisking required.
