Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Mix, Dressing, and Dip

Ingredients:

Dry Mix:

1/4 C Black pepper

1 1/2 C Parsley flakes

1/2 C Garlic salt

2 T Kosher salt

1/4 C Granulated garlic

3/4 C Granulated onion

2 T Dill weed

Dressing:

1 C Buttermilk (or plain milk kefir)

1 C Mayonnaise

Dip:

16 oz Sour cream

Directions:

Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients together. Store in airtight container. 

For dressing, combine buttermilk and mayonnaise with 2 T dry mix. Best if allowed to chill for 30 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator. 

Tip: For a lighter dressing use buttermilk (or milk kefir) and substitute sour cream for mayonnaise. Add a little more buttermilk if it is too thick for your taste. 

For dip, combine 2 T dry mix and sour cream. Let chill for 30 minutes in refrigerator before serving. 

Yield: 3 1/2 C dry mix.
