Question

People seem to like ranch dressing. After all, they pour it on just about everything: salad, raw vegetable sticks, chicken wings, and even pizza. The only problem, aside from all the fat and calories, is that a lot of store bought ranch can contain 20-30 ingredients, some of which have weird long names and give it a chemical flavor.

If you like ranch, but don't want the chemical taste and unnecessary ingredients, I have a recipe for you.

First, measure 4 ounces of buttermilk and four ounces of mayonnaise and put them in a bowl together.

The next step involves chopping, so get an adult. Second, chop up one tablespoon of dill and three tablespoons each of chives and Italian parsley. Add them to the bowl.

Third, add a quarter of a teaspoon each of garlic salt and onion powder to the bowl, and stir all the ingredients together.

Finally, taste your dressing. Does it need pepper? If so, add a little pepper. Pour your homemade dressing on whatever it is you like to pour ranch on and eat it!
