Holy shit you guys. I posted a ranch dressing recipe a while ago, but I wasn’t super thrilled with it. Well, I made ranch tonight and changed it a little bit and it was really good. Here’s the new recipe:

Holy Shit! Awesome Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s/Best Foods — light is ok with me but Ben doesn’t like it)
• 3/4 cup sour cream (light is ok)
• 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and/or fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon dried dill

I use heaping measurements of the chives and parsley and barely heaping measurements of the garlic powder and onion powder.

Directions

Throw everything in a large bowl and stir like crazy until smooth and well-blended. Add extra buttermilk if you like a thinner ranch at any time. Refrigerate (duh). I store this in a glass jar.

For a low-tech version, leave out the green stuff (chives, parsley, and dill).

For chipotle ranch, omit dill and add 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers.
