I love the bold flavors of Indian cuisine and the creamy, herby goodness of classic ranch dressing, so why not combine them? This twist makes it the perfect dressing for salads but also great for dipping zucchini fritters or eggplant fries.
📖Why My Recipe Works
A touch of garam masala adds a beautiful complexity and completely changes the flavor of the dressing.
🧾Ingredient Notes
- Buttermilk- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing ½ cup milk with 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for five minutes before using.
- Mayonnaise- Don't skip! Use full-fat mayo for the best texture.
- Yogurt- Substitute with sour cream for a thicker dressing.
- Garam Masala- A little goes a long way. Don't overdue it.
- Dried Parsley- Try using dried cilantro instead of parsley.
⏲️How to Make Garam Masala Ranch
- Combine buttermilk, mayo, and sour cream until smooth. Then, stir in the dried herbs and spices. Taste and adjust the spices to your liking. You can start with a small amount of garam masala, then add more as you stir them.
- The salad dressing is ready after chilling for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, give it a good stir or adjust the seasonings if needed.
