Ranch Dressing

By GratefulSea

I'd much rather make my own dressing than worry about what's in the bottle I buy at the grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or buttermilk)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Makes 1-1/2 cups.

Note: one reviewer suggested 1) Change the mayo/sour cream/buttermilk to 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2)Increase the garlic to 1/2 tsp., and 3) Add 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (for consistency). You can cut some calories by replacing the sour cream with plain yoghurt. Best to experiment to get this just right for your own taste.
