Ranch Dressing Recipe

About 2 years ago, my friend Malia and I became obsessed with ranch dressing. Ranch dressing, when made properly, is simply dazzling with almost anything. We started comparing ranch dressing recipes from every neighborhood restaurant and decided that at the end of the day, ranch dressing was not living up to its potential. After many hours in the kitchen and modifications on dozens of recipes for ranch dressing, we came up with the following recipe. The secret is a lot of garlic! Feel free to add more if you are a real garlic lover.

• 4 cloves of garlic mashed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
• 1 scallion trimmed and sliced
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• Pepper to taste

1. Combine garlic and salt into a paste of goo
2. In a bowl, whisk everything together
3. Pepper to taste

The above recipe makes about 12 oz.

Serve as a side, with veggies, with crusty bread... whatever you like.
