I made this recipe with a few changes. I originally looked on your site for a cottage cheese Ranch, but didn’t see one, so I used this one as a start. I subbed cottage cheese for the yogurt, cashew milk + lemon juice for buttermilk and only a little mayo. I did add a tablespoon of low fat sour cream too. Even with my changes, we loved it. We couldn’t even taste the cottage cheese. I love how you make so many cottage cheese filled recipes.
Hi Tari, I love your substitutions and I appreciate you sharing this! You incorporated the cottage cheese perfectly 🙂
I made this and it was very tasty! I mixed this with your delicious potato salad recipe.
I also made your homemade mayo recipe, and used it in the ranch dressing. It was delightful.
Thanks for sharing!Hi Carolyn, I’m so excited you love this recipe! And that’s awesome that you included this ranch with the potato salad. I appreciate your feedback 🙂
Made this, now I know the secret to “restaurant ranch”, you can’t buy it, you gotta make it! This is the best ranch dressing I’ve ever tasted, hands down winner. We used fresh garlic and fresh onion to avoid grain based fillers in powdered spices. It came out great. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!! Appreciating it very much as a person who cannot eat grain! Will see how it goes long term as mayo off the grocery store shelf usually is made with vinegar derived from grain…..we tried it with that anyways. May have to make the mayo that goes into it in future, if I do, I’ll look for your recipe on that…..thanks again!
Hi Cara, thank you so much for sharing this!! I’m so excited you love this dressing as much as I do 🙂 I ALWAYS have a jar of it in my fridge. I love your subs to make sure it doesn’t contain any grains!
