  1. This is not a ranch dressing. The seasonings are all wrong. It was also far too runny. I was the only one who liked it at all, but it is far closer to a creamy Italian dressing. I would not make this again. I used mayonnaise rather than Miracle Whip.
     
  2. Missing something? My sister-in-law and I agree this recipe might need one more seasoning. We're not sure...maybe salt? Celery salt? Chives? I'll check back to see if anyone figures it out. It does taste great and it has a perfect consistency. It is a keeper!
     
  3. The Miracle Whip overwhelmed all the other flavors but I will try again using regular mayo.
     
  4. This went together fast and was very tasty! Love the freshness! DD said it was BETTER than the 'original'.... Thanks Wineaux!
     
  5. WOW was this good! I wasn't sure I was going to like the oregano and basil but these two ingredients make this dressing. Thanks Wineaux, I know I'll make this often.

A former journalist and wine consultant, I'm now on disability because I have MS. I am passionate about children's advocacy issues, Marc Chagall and international cuisine. My biggest pet peeve is people in the grocery checkout line who "forgot just one little thing" and leave the line, holding everybody else hostage until he or she finishes shopping. I enjoy helping my friends NCMystery Shopper, Mama's Kitchen and Chef V co-host the Beverages forum here on Zaar. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
