Cucumber Ranch Dressing

This cucumber ranch dressing is an adapted version of Vivian Howard’s cucumber ranch dressing in her cookbook Deep Run Roots. I stuck pretty close to the original recipe but I blended it instead of having thinly sliced cucumbers in the dressing itself and I also added some fresh dill and garlic. I made the dressing a few hours before serving so the flavors had time to mingle and it turned out really tasty. I drizzled this cucumber ranch dressing on a wedge salad with lots of tomatoes and red onion and they paired beautifully together.

How to Make Cucumber Ranch Dressing

Peel the cucumber then slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove and discard the seeds then chop the cucumber up into small pieces and place them in a blender.

Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, chives, parsley, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, dash of Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon juice, if needed. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving. Enjoy.
