ranch dressing

i love ranch dressing.  i don’t love the calories, but i think that this may have an edge on store-bought varieties because it lacks preservatives.  it’s also delicious.  i think i might try using fresh chives next time and also mincing up green onion to use in addition to onion powder.  and maybe doubling the garlic powder.  it’s a work in progress.  🙂

• 1/2 c light mayo
• 1/4 or 1/2 c light sour cream (1/4 c for salads, 1/2 c for dip)
• 3/4 or 1/4 c buttermilk (3/4 c for salads, 1/2 c for dip)
• 1/2 tsp dried chives
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/4 tsp dried dill weed
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

1. in a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients.
2. cover and refrigerate for 30 min. before serving.

enjoy!
