Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

I think almost everybody likes ranch. I know we like it in our household! I have tried the fat free varieties and have wound up throwing away whatever food I put it on because it just tastes so fake. This light homemade ranch dressing has a great rich flavor that develops over a few days. I tried it on Sunday right when I was making and admittedly almost threw it away. When I tried it on Tuesday, I loved it! It just needed time for the flavor to develop!

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

3/4 cup light mayonnaise

3/4 cup light sour cream

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

about 1 cup buttermilk

1 small bunch chives

small handful parsley

1 clove garlic, chopped

a couple sprigs of fresh dill, or about 1/2-3/4 tsp dried

1/2 tsp kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender (another thing the Magic Bullet was good for, except I could only fit about 1/3 of the recipe). Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Store in refrigerator.
