Charred Scallion Ranch
Charred scallion ranch is one of those recipes that instantly makes just about everything taste better! Crispy fried chicken, a slice of pizza, fresh vegetables, roasted potatoes—I never seem to run out of excuses to keep a jar in the fridge. As much as I love classic ranch, though, I also love finding simple ways to give familiar recipes a little more depth.
