Homemade Zesty Ranch Sauce and Dressing

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

Makes: about 1 1/2 cups

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

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.

Serve with: Lettuce Wrapped Chicken Burger with Zesty Ranch (See Recipe!)
