Homemade Ranch Dressing

Homemade Ranch Dressing

My New Favorite

3/4 c. mayo
1/2 c. sour cream or plain yogurt (I like half of each)
1 Tbs red wine vinegar
2 cloves crushed fresh garlic (less for young children)
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4+ tsp. each: dried parsley, dill weed, chives
a few shakes cayenne pepper
black pepper to taste, preferably freshly ground
salt to taste (not always needed with the fresh garlic)

The old Way

3/4 c. mayo
1/2 c. sour cream or plain yogurt
1/2 tsp cilantro or chives
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp dill weed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4-1/2 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper

Mix and enjoy!  Lasts at least 2 weeks, ultimately as long as your mayo and sour cream or yogurt would last.  It’s the dill weed that makes it excellent, in my opinion. Adapted from Passionate Homemaking.
