Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

 I have become disenchanted with store bought ranch dressing.  Mostly since making this ranch.  It takes about 2 minutes to make, and it always tastes so fresh and wonderful!  I like eating salads a lot, but I tend to be the type who ends up with left-over salad dressing left in the fridge for months, and it kind of freaks me out that some dressing is okay staying in the fridge for months... My solution?  Whip up a small batch that is perfect for your family, maybe a few guests and tomorrow's leftovers.  This batch feeds 4 comfortably, with a little left over for tomorrow.  Fresh and tasty every time!

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing:
adapted from Mother Thyme

1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 buttermilk (I always use a scant 1/4 milk with 1/2 tsp or so of vinegar)
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dill
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
dash of pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small jar and shake until combined.   Serve over a delicious green salad or use it to dip your pizza in!
