Recipe: Ranch Dressing

A lot of premade dressing contain hidden ingredients, and can be rather pricey. In attempt to cut out preservatives and find a cheaper alternative to the premade salad dressings on the shelf, I found a home made version. The recipe I came up with was inspired by the easy Ranch Dressing at Bake Your Day, so some credit should go to them.

Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix
2 tsp. dried parsley
2 tsp. dried dill
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. onion salt
2 tsp. black powder
1 tsp. dried chives

Mix the ingredients in a sealed container, which will keep for a couple of months.

When you're ready for the actual dressing, mix 1 tbsp of dry mix with 1/3 cup mayo, greek yogurt or sour cream (your preference), and 1/4 cup buttermilk or plain milk. For creamer dressing use less milk. If you want a lighter dressing use fat-free greek yogurt or sour cream with skim milk.
