HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

 PRINT PDF

My husband loves to dip vegetables in blue cheese dressing. To make this a healthier snack for him, I decided to make homemade ranch dressing then add blue cheese crumbles. While there are less additives / preservatives in the homemade version, dressing is still high in calories.

This is best the next day; it thickens and the flavors intensify. Recipe inspired via a submission to allrecipes.com.

INGREDIENTS

Set 1

½ cup good quality mayo 

½ cup light sour cream (name brand is best here as it is generally thicker than store brands)

generous ½ tsp. dried chives

generous ½ tsp. dried parsley

generous ½ tsp. dried dill

½ tsp. garlic powder

¼ tsp. seasoning salt

Pinch of black pepper

Optional

2 tbsp. reduced fat buttermilk

Blue cheese crumbles

Tools:   small bowl,   small whisk

DIRECTIONS

1.      Place all ingredients in the bowl.

2.      Whisk to thoroughly combine.

3.      Add buttermilk if you want buttermilk ranch dressing.

4.      Add blue cheese crumbles just before serving for blue cheese dressing (with or without buttermilk).
