Homemade Ranch Dressing III
By Addie
Ranch is a staple in my house. In fact it gets it's own spot on the food triangle. But we are also ranch snobs, which means we spend a lot of money on that white creamy goodness because we want the good stuff. I have always preferred the homemade ranch to store bought but have bought plenty of bottles in my day. Last week I came across a BYU Creamery Ranch Dressing recipe from "One Good Thing" by Jillee. While I have lived in Utah for almost 10 years I have never had BYU's ranch. But it looked good enough I decided to give it a try. And I must say this ranch is AMAZING and has quickly became our new favorite. We even used LITE buttermilk, LITE sour cream and LITE mayo and it was so good. Didn't taste at all like the lite version in the stores. So much yummy ranch flavor! For dinner the next night we made homemade chicken nuggets (a family favorite) to really put the ranch to the test. It passed with flying colors. This ranch is nice and thick (but too thick - it still pours).

If you want to substitute garlic powder for granulated garlic, remember that 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic so you would need to use 1/8 cup garlic powder in this recipe.
