Homemade Ranch Dressing

On our first day of gardening classes I served veggies with my homemade ranch dressing. I got lots of great feedback on it that I wanted to share it with all of you!

I start by heading out to the garden to pick the herbs. Parsley, dill, and green onions. I also grab a bit of garlic hanging in the window.

You can also pick them up at the farmers market or grocery store it will still taste just as good!

 I then bring out the bowl and toss in some mayonnaise, sour cream, and measure out the milk, adding some lemon juice to make it buttermilk. I do use full fat ingredients, but I am pretty sure you can substitute low, non, or vegan ingredients and get similar taste results (I have not tried any of those, but experiment and if it turns out well let me know).

To the mayo and sour cream I add the finely chopped herbs and garlic, stir in some salt and pepper to taste, then pour in the milk add a couple more bits and stir to combine. 

SO good and so easy, give it a try and you will never ever go back to the bottled stuff again, I guarantee.

Recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing

1/2 cup buttermilk (I substitute 1/2 cup milk plus 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbs chopped green onion

2 Tbs chopped parsley

1 Tbs chopped fresh dill (I add 2 Tbs because nothing beats the taste of fresh dill in the summer)

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 tsp lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients, let sit one hour so the flavors can develop, then serve with your favorite dippers or salad.
