This is my sister Sylvia's take on ranch dressing. She has also suggested ingredients for a chopped salad to put it on. A famous version of chopped salad is the "Cobb salad", apparently invented by Robert H. Cobb, first cousin of the legendary Ty Cobb. It was a signature menu item of the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. (Source: Wikipedia) Its main ingredients are iceberg lettuce, tomato, bacon, chicken breast, hard-boiled egg, avocado, and Roquefort cheese. Gotta love that blue cheese.
Ingredients for Ranch Dressing:
• 1/2 cup full fat yogurt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• juice from one fresh lemon
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt
• dash of Worcestershire sauce (pronounced 'worstersheer')
• 1 tbs finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 tbs chopped fresh dill
• fresh ground pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients together well and let the flavours meld for a few hours. Keep refrigerated and use within a week. Sylvia suggests that this would be delicious over a chopped salad of mixed greens, chick peas, corn, olives, shredded cheese, grape tomatoes, radishes, cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced boiled eggs, crisp bacon and sliced avocado. I agree.
