Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ranch Dressing

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

1/4 teaspoon of dry dill (or a teaspoon chopped fresh)

Method

1 In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk and mayonnaise until fully mixed. Add in the other ingredients, adjusting for taste.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Keeps for a week, covered in the fridge.

If you add a few cloves of garlic and some oregano, then it is a garlic ranch. If you add it to cooled tri-color rotini, it is the garlic pasta salad that the white house grill makes (make sure you refrigerate for a few hours).

I have to say this is so much better than store boughten or even the packages of ranch!
