Recipe Challenge: Hidden Valley Ranch

July 12, 2012 By Lena

UPDATE!

My recipe for  Grilled Salmon Tacos with Avocado Ranch Dressing was selected as the WINNING RECIPE by Chef Ned Bell! It’s official – the tacos are chock-full of deliciousness. Make them tonight!

Thanks to the wonderful folks at Hidden Valley for organizing this challenge, and to Chef Ned for judging all the entries. And now… I’m off to celebrate!

Now, since when have I ever backed down from a challenge?

(That would be… never.)

When the good folks at Hidden Valley asked me – and 15 of Canada’s top food bloggers/recipe junkies – to create a delicious recipe that made eating veggies more fun for the whole family (and incorporating Ranch dressing, of course) – I was initially stumped. Previously, I had only used Hidden Valley Ranch dressing as a dip for vegetables, and was unsure how to adapt the flavours to a main course. Adding to my dilemma, Hidden Valley recently introduced two YUMMY new versions: Cheesy and Spicy. While they are simply divine as a dip, I once again questioned my ability to make them the star of the show.

So, I decided to stick with the Original Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, and settled on a dish that embodies the spirit of fresh summer produce; the comfort of warm nights on the patio; and the deliciousness of spicy, charred salmon straight from the grill.
