One thing about Kittencal's recipes, you can always depend on them for being the very best. I'm a long time user of recipezaar and have a few highly rated recipes on here myself, but not the comprehensive list that she does! I've gotten in the habit of using her name in the search box when I'm looking for a recipe because I know it will be the best one available. I have so many of her dishes in my personal recipe book and guests just rave over them when I cook. Kittencal, just know that you are appreciated and loved here on the zaar, and please, keep those recipes coming!

This recipe is very good. I used the high end of the dill (because I love dill) and wish I would not have. It just overpowers the other flavors. Next time, I will use the lesser amount. Also, and this is just personal taste, I think I like Ranch with a little less mayo taste. So, next time I would probably start with 1/2 cup mayo and more sour cream. I did add more buttermilk as suggested. Thanks for a great recipe!

We did enjoy this dressing as it has good flavor, but I'm still looking for a flavor that I've found in some restaurant Ranch dressings - seems to be a secret ingredient or something. I added about 1 - 2 teaspoons of ranch dry mix to add a bit of 'omph' and it did add a bit of a ranchier taste. As always though I always trust Kittencal's recipes because you know they are tried and true!

I have tried SO many ranch dressing recipes and finally I'm home! Used low fat mayo and 1% sour cream, 1/2 tsp dill weed and on the calories I saved, threw in 1/2 cup fresh grated Romano cheese (yeah sure why not) After an overnight in the fridge all the flavors came out and blended beautifully. Next time, I'll try the reggiano. Oh, and I used fresh chives instead of a green onion. Thanks for another wonderful recipe Kit
