Homemade Ranch Dressing

rundgrenfan

Ran out of ranch dressing the other day and wondered if it was hard to make. It's not (thanks Google)!! I didn't measure very well but my ballpark figures are:

1 cup buttermilk, 2 TB sour cream, 1 clove crushed garlic, 2 TB green onion, 2TB parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Run it through the blender or small food processor (it turns a little green).

I just realized I could substitute thick yogurt for the sour cream to make it healthier. I think it's better today after sitting in the fridge overnight, the raw garlic isn't as harsh. My kids are going wild for it!

18 calories per tablespoon, 1 gram each of carbs, fat, and protein (made with sour cream), sodium depends on how much salt you add.

Thanks! Sounds great!

You could probably use fat free sour cream also.

cool, and if you don't keep buttermilk on hand, you can make it with milk and vinegar - just google it... buttermilk substitute

I'm sure it would work. It's just to thicken it a bit.
