Homemade ranch!

I decidedly recently that I just don't like hidden valley ranch. Or really any ranch that I could find in the grocery store. I was telling this to a friend at school so she recommended her husband's homemade ranch recipe. This ranch is so yummy! It also makes a good supply of dry mix, so once it's made we won't have to make it for a while!

Ingredients:

15 saltines

2 cups dry minced parsley flakes

1/2 cup dry minced onion

2 tablespoons dry dill weed

1/4 cup onion salt

1/4 cup garlic salt

1/4 cup onion powder

1/4 cup garlic powder

1 cup of mayonnaise

1 cup of buttermilk

Directions to make the mix:

Put the crackers in the blender until powdered. Add parsley, minced onions, and dill weed. Blend again until powdered. Put into a bowl. Next, stir in onion salt, garlic salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Put into a container with a tight fitting lid.

To make the ranch:

Add 1 tablespoon of mix to 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 cup of buttermilk.

(If you like it thicker- do more mayo, if you like it thinner- do more buttermilk)

It needs to thicken over night to be at its best.
