Ranch Dressing

• mixed herb (Makes 1/3 cup)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons msg
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 8 teaspoons dried parsley flakes, crushed between your palms
• Dressing (use 2 tablespoons of mixed herbs)
• 1 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's style)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (I use Light. Do not use no-fat.)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (Low-fat is okay. Do not use no-fat.)

1. Herb Mix:
2. Crush parsley flakes between your palms until they are the consistency of powder.
3. Add all other herb mix ingredients and blend well.
4. Store herb mix in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for up to 3 months. Mine never lasts that long..
5. Dressing:
6. Combine all ingredients and whip with a wire whisk.
7. Refrigerate for several hours before serving so that flavors can meld.
8. Allow dressing to sit out while you set-up the table. The full flavor develops better when the dressing is not refrigerator-cold.
9. HOWEVER, remember that you are dealing with dairy products. Refrigerate dressing as soon as the salad course is over.
10. Discard unused dressing according to expiration dates on your dairy products.
