When I was asked to take part in the Hidden Valley Ranchify Your Recipe challenge, I was eager to think about creative ways to use ranch dressing in our everyday meals. Tonight, I was making one of my husband’s favorite meals, grilled pork tenderloin with grilled vegetables. What a perfect meal to incorporate ranch dressing! I love using Hidden Valley Ranch dressings as a dip but I wanted to create something that was closer to a cream sauce. I love asparagus with Béchamel Sauce or a Hollandaise Sauce. This is my Ranchified version of Grilled Asparagus in a White Sauce.
Grilled Asparagus with Parmesan Ranch Dressing
Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh asparagus
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh Ground Pepper
Herbamare Seasoning (or sea salt)
1 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (Cheese Flavour)
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp of lemon juice
Directions:
Wash and trim asparagus. Place in a bowl for tossing (I use a casserole dish so it is long enough). Drizzle olive oil over asparagus, cover with ground pepper and Herbamare (or sea salt) and toss until asparagus is evenly coated.
Heat grill.
While grill is heating, toss Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Set aside.
Grill asparagus in a vegetable grill basket or on an indoor grill. Turn often until cooked through (about 7 minutes).
Plate asparagus and drizzle with ranch dressing combination.
Serve with your favorite main course.
Be sure to try all of the Hidden Valley Ranch flavours – each one brings a unique and delicious taste to ranch dressing

This sounds delicious. I love grilled asparagus but I’ve never tried it with ranch dressing. I’ve added it to my shopping list!
Can you believe I just recently (last year) had my first taste of real asparagus (not canned, which I don’t like). My son and his wife came to visit, and one night they made dinner, fresh asparagus included. Oh how I love it now!! I was missing out for son long, lol. The Ranch recipe you’ve offered sounds like a perfect accompaniment and I’m itching to try it on the grill!
Love asparagus, but don’t cook it often because I find them plain. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Just pinned it!
def adding to recipes to try, we love asparagus and anything ranch so it should be a good one :)
I just tried asparagus on the BBQ a few weeks ago and loved it! Next time I will definitely try with this dressing. :)
I adore asparagus this time of year. That looks like a variation of sacues that my kids would love too. Great pictures. I will give this a shot.
Thank you. Yes, my kids loved it and they are only 3. Perfect combination of flavours and it includes “dip” which my boys are into right now.
Oh I LOVE asparagus! This is an amazing idea!
Thank you. :)
Oh wow, that looks SO delicious! I’m a huge fan of asparagus, but have yet to be able to cook it right. :/ Never thought about grilling, will definitely have to try that next time!
I love asparagus anyway. But grilled is fantastic!
Yum we have so asparagus in our fridge right now that needs to be used up!
