Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I know there are a few different places I've seen this recipe for " Ranch Dressing " using mayonnaise or yogurt as the base. Here's one: http://grainfreefoodie.blogspot.com/2009/11/ranch-dip-or-dressing.html What I don't understand is, how can mayo and yogurt be interchangeable for the base? It seems like if one makes it taste like ranch, then the other wouldn't. I mean, they don't taste that similar to me. So my question is, have any of you tried a recipe similar to this and had success? If so, did you use mayo or yogurt? Or some combination of the two? Thanks!

Thanks! cooking is very flexible which, the more you do it, the more you realize - I think their point here was that if you need to substitute or a variation on the theme, the secondary approaches are one way to go. It was more in the way of being helpful rather than practicing a purist approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hey Alyssa! I suspect that they are comparing plain old mayo (not like the seasoned one from the SCD cookbook with mustard powder, etc) to a thick yogurt. I would try some dripped SCD yogurt- it would be tangy like Ranch, but give you a thicker consistency! -Joanna > What I don't understand is, how can mayo and yogurt be interchangeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I would think tangy yogurt would go with Ranch but the 2T. cilantro sounds pretty strong to me for Ranch unless you just 'love' cilantro. I love it but sometimes just a hint is better. Marilyn posted a great sounding Ranch.
