5 . Italian Ranch Salad Dressing
Italian Ranch Salad Dressing
Do you enjoy Ranch and Italian dressings? What about combining the two? So I did and it zips up the Ranch and tones down the Italian. We think it makes a great combination. The reason I use these two sizes is that those are sizes available at Costco. Your local store may carry a different size, so make sure they are in proportion to the ones in the recipe.
Ingredient
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Although the bottles have liters written on them, one milliliter=one gram, is fairly close. This does not need to be exact. Weigh and tare an empty bottle on the scale. The Ranch Dressing bottles are larger so I use those to combine and to serve the dressings.
* Step 2
Pour half of one Ranch Dressing bottle into an empty or almost empty Ranch Dressing bottle. Pour half of the Italian Dressing into the same bottle. Then add the remaining amount into the other half-empty Ranch Dressing bottle.
* Step 3
Pour the rice vinegar into the empty bottle of Italian Dressing which weighs 50g, shake well and then add half to each of the filled bottles.
* Step 4
Shake each bottle well and store in the refrigerator.
