8. I use a different recipe, but my hint is keep a jar of dry ingredients in your spice rack

makes it a lot faster to throw together. my version uses buttermilk and mayo for dressing or sour cream for dip, and yogurt works fine too

I keep an old bullion cube jar with this in it, use 2 good teaspoons to a cup each of mayo and buttermilk

3 Tablespoons of salt (~slight 1/4 cup)

3 Tablespoons dried parsley (~1/4 cup)

1 Tablespoon + a bit more black pepper (4 1/2 teaspoons)

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dry dill (or a bit more if you like)

mix well

you can always fake buttermilk by putting a Tablespoon of lemon or lime juice, or vinegar in a measuring cup and filling with milk to the 1 cup line, let sit for 5 - 10 minutes. for this dressing it will be a little thinner than real buttermilk but still taste so much better than gelatinous bottled dressing.

the one problem with homemade salad dressings is the texture when you go out to eat!
