Great Ranch Pizza Sauce Recipe
Ranch sauce is a very common alternative to the same old tomato pizza. We all love the zingy, tangy flavor of a good ranch sauce, and it goes particularly well with toppings like chicken and caramelized onions. A good sauce is half the battle when it comes to putting together a good pizza, after all.
This sauce prevents the problem that occurs with some oil based commercial ranch dressings in a bottle. They taste great cold, but when you put them on a pizza, all you get is an oily mess! Making your own ranch pizza sauce from scratch gives you a level of control you cannot get using a bottled dressing. It may take a little extra effort, but in the end, it is worth it.
