I actually made this recipe and put it on a baked potato, along with a little olive oil. I will use it for salads too :) I was happy with the flavor, even though I didn't let it sit (like I should have) to develop the spice flavors. After reading the reviews, I did make a couple of adjustments based on personal preference and the fact that I didn't have any minced dry onions. With the adjustments (tweaks) that I made, I counted about 8 tablespoons of ranch mix. That works well for me. Next time, I might buy and use some minced dry onion, but certainly will not add a cup of dried onions. Maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons. I will list the tweaks in the tweak area. I was very happy with the taste of the Ranch Dressing. I didn't think it was too salty, but the salt mixtures I did use would make the amount of salt less than 1 teaspoon. The saltiness of the potato tasted just right because I didn't use any added salt knowing that there was salt in the dressing. It should be just right for salads. The dressing has a very good appearance too :)

TWEAKS: Instead of 1 teaspoon of plain salt, I used a half teaspoon of seasoned salt and a half teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, which has salt in it too. I used only 2 teaspoons of sugar, considering the suggestion of another reviewer. Instead of 4 teaspoons of parsley flakes, I used 2 teaspoons, along with 2 teaspoons of dried chives. I didn't have any minced dried onion, so I used 4 teaspoons powdered onion.

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
