HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING WITH YOGURT RECIPES

Steps:

• Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle about an 1/8 to ¼ teaspoons of salt on it and mash it into a paste with a fork. Chop the parsley, chives and any of the optional herbs very finely and add to the garlic.  In a bowl, combine all ingredients, adding other optional ingredients as you wish, tasting frequently and adjusting seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving, thin with milk or buttermilk if desired. (Don’t overdo the garlic or you’ll be up all night, emailing me about your heartburn.)

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl and stir until well blended and creamy.
• Stir in the herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
• Taste, and then adjust with another teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or add salt as needed. We love two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, but it is a strong flavor, so add this to your taste.
• Store, covered, in the refrigerator, for 3 to 4 days. It can technically be stored longer, but you will lose the fresh flavor of the herbs.
