Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing is pretty tasty stuff, especially homemade.  Molly doesn't do well with all the stuff in store bought (who does?), so we've experimented with making it ourselves.  I like it with buttermilk, but rarely buy it, so I decided to try it with cottage cheese.  It worked well, good flavor and very creamy.  Good for dipping.  If you want something more 'pourable', add a bit of milk.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup cottage cheese (or buttermilk)

1/2 teaspoon chives

1/2 teaspoon parsley

1/2 teaspoon dill

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion

1/8 teaspoon salt (I like celery salt here, too)

1/8 teaspoon pepper (or more, I like more)

Directions:

Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender.  Store in a jar in the fridge.  Tastes great the first day, but even better after a day or so.
