Homemade Ranch Dressing

Homemade Ranch Dressing

(Makes 1½ cups of dressing)

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup sour cream
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• ½ teaspoon real sea salt 
• ½ teaspoon onion powder 
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
•  ⅛ teaspoon dried organic dill 
•  ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder 

Directions:

1. Stir together milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside for about 5-10 minutes. (This is the cheater’s version of buttermilk. I don’t use real buttermilk because I like to use lemon juice anyway – it adds a nice zing to this dressing.)
2. Combine milk mixture and sour cream in a medium sized bowl, whisking until smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined.
4. Transfer dressing to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate.

Shake before each use. Keeps for at least a few weeks in the refrigerator (if you can make it last that long in your house).
