I LOVE celery, and cannot stand the foul slimy concoction foisted upon the public as a foodstuff called “ranch dressing”.

Nellie, I appreciate your disdain for celery, and would never try to force you to eat it in any form. I can only feel badly for you that you cannot enjoy the interesting variety of stimuli that eating a stalk of that veggie brings.

OCC, after trying evey style of ranch “flavoured” foods I dared, I can honestly say that I will eat 3 week old tuna before anything with the descriptive “ranch” EVER passes my lips again.

That stuff is FOUL, and if some moron manages to get celery to taste like that crap, I guarantee that nobody in my family or circle of friends will EVER buy that stuff when I am on the guest list.

Did I mention that I CANNOT STAND ranch dressing?

I can’t either...except for homemade.

1 C. Mayo
1/3 C. Buttermilk
1 tsp white vinegar (I just use a capfull)
2-3 cloves of minced garlic, depending on size and personal taste (I use a garlic press or just throw it in the food processor)
Mix well and add
Chives- I use a small handful of dried (2T)
Parsley- likewise

Mix gently and refrigerate. It’s called Ranch but nothing like the bottled stuff. It’s the best salad dressing I’ve ever had. It’s been a huge hit and after having it, I can’t eat bottled Ranch dressing. It’s just gross.
