Ranch Dressing

Peppy and String Bean's Ranch Dressing

This morning, joining me in the laboratory that is also my kitchen, my little sous chef, String Bean and I made Ranch dressing.  It is so simple, I wonder why the heck we don't make more stuff from scratch?!?

Here is the recipe:

1 C Mayonaise (reduced fat works just fine)|
1/3 C Low Fat Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon each - dried parsley, dill, and chives
1/4 teaspoon each - onion and garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk briskly until well blended. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. (Overnight is best)

So when asked how did it taste?

String Bean: "Tasted delicious!"
Li'l Bear: "Taste just like real ranch dressing"

So there you go - mother recommended, kids approved!

Enjoy with your favorite fresh veggies.  String Bean's is celery and Li'l Bear's are cucumbers.  For me, there is no other than tomatoes!
