Homemade Zesty Ranch Sauce and Dressing

Description

So much better than store-bought! Whisk these ingredients together – for a sauce… add some lemon juice for a dressing

Ingredients

• ½ cup buttermilk
• ⅔ cups mayonnaise, I like “just mayo” 
• ¼ cup greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons scallions, cleaned and dried, minced – whites & greens
• ¼ teaspoon jalapeño, minced (a little more if you like spicy)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, cleaned and dried – minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, peeled and finely grated, or minced
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon pure cane sugar
• 3 tablespoons aged gouda cheese, coarsely grated

Method

Whisk all ingredients together until well mixed.
Store in a clean, glass container in the refrigerator. Will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

For Zesty Ranch Dressing:
Whisk in a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, start with 2 tablespoons.
