The dressing the Washington Post called “extravagant and trashy” may not be fine dining but it sure is versatile. Here you will learn to make it from scratch, fold it into comforting snacks, sophisticated dips, grain bowls and salads, and use it in brunch favorites, marinades and pasta sauces. The creamy, peppery ranch is so far beyond salad dressing that it should never be sidelined. Its tangy coolness is perfect paired with spicy, charred or fried food; it adds flavor to main dishes like mac- and-cheese and works as a dip for wings, fries and pizza. Any way you dress it, dip it or dunk it, you'll soon discover there's nothing ranch can't do.
