How to Make Bacon Ranch Dressing

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix, 1 tablespoon bacon bits (crumbled), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Gently stir in 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
