Ranch Dressing

Come here and lean in close. I'm going to tell you a secret. One that Hidden Valley doesn't want you to know. Shhhh....

Ok, let me whisper in your ear...

The secret to great tasting Ranch dressing is the mayonnaise and the buttermilk.


Yup, thats it! You don't need to buy an expensive seasoning packet. All you have to do is mix those two ingredients together and toss in some seasonings from your pantry, and you are good to go!

Send all money saved from this hint to me, ok?!


1 cup mayo
1 cup buttermilk
some minced garlic (or garlic powder)
some chopped fresh parsley (or dried)
some parmesan cheese
salt
pepper
not too much dillweed (or fresh would be yummy!)

optional: a little mustard (not too much, maybe 1/4 tsp), finely minced (or shredded) onion, fresh cilantro, whatever you can think of.

Mix the mayonnaise and buttermilk and then add the seasonings to taste. I promise that you will like it.

I saw your post on Amity's and even though I'm a horridly plain cook I thought I would check it out. ALL of your food looks soooooooo good and your recipes are wonderful. I'm going to try some of them and I will definately be back to let you know how they turned out. :)
