Ranch Dressing Recipe – Ranch Dip Recipe
1 cup mayonnaise (low-fat may be used)
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp. green onions, minced (tops only or chives)
1/4 tsp. onion powder or 1 Tbsp. fresh onions, minced
2 tsp. parsley, minced
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. garlic powder or 1/2 to 1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Combine ingredients in a container with a lid and refrigerate before serving. Makes 2 cups. For Ranch Dip, use sour cream or yogurt in place of buttermilk.
My favorite ever, especially after several days of heavy fatty meals.
What can you substitute for buttermilk? Can you just add some lemon juice to milk?
For this recipe adding the lemon juice to milk would not work – that usually works best for when you are using buttermilk in baking. You could try diluting down some sour cream with milk and use it. Also using the “sour”milk (using lemon juice) instead of buttermilk in baking will change the texture and lightness of something – it will taste good but the texture is slightly different.
