Ranch Dressing

I much prefer the freshly mixed ranch dressing to the bottled stuff, but we can never eat an entire package of Hidden Valley before it goes bad. This recipe makes half of what the packet does.

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• dash of salt
• dash of ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients. Chill a few hours to let flavors blend. Substitute buttermilk for sour cream for a thinner dressing.
