Emily's Hot Dish

I used to think that Ranch dressing was something that only came in a bottle. The idea of making my own at home never crossed my mind. At the very least, you had to buy a packet of “ranch dressing mix” and combine it with mayonnaise and buttermilk. Until recently it never occurred to me that the contents of the packet were spices that I could combine myself at home.

Because this recipe uses fresh herbs it tastes better than bottled dressing. And because it uses yogurt to replace half the mayonnaise it’s healthier than ranch dressing. It’s so easy to make, you’ll never buy the stuff in a bottle again. 

You will need:
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup greek-style yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  
Mix all ingredients together. Serve. Extra dressing will keep in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.
