Homemade Ranch Dressing



Any of you get sick of going to buy dressing and the label has added gluten and preservatives? It is honestly just safer to make it all yourself. It is pretty easy as long as you have a blender. Here is how I make mine. 

Homemade Ranch Dressing 
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp basil
1 tsp dill
1 tsp chives
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Optional: 1 jalapeno chopped
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until mixed well. For a spicy jalapeno ranch, add the chopped jalapeno and blend. 
Store in a glass jar in the fridge until ready to use.

  7. Try buttermilk in place of the sour cream or Greek yogurt. Cheaper, and less calories.

  9. If I'm not mistaken, when Hidden Valley first came out with Ranch dressing, it's base was
    buttermilk, not mayo or sour cream. I love Ranch dressing also and am very anxious to try the recipe this weekend. Think I will use some buttermilk, though, or make a batch both ways and see which the family prefers. This is going to be much cheaper than buying all those bottles of dressing. Thanks a bunch!

  12. I use fresh when I have them, if not I use dried. They both work fine.
