Homemade Ranch Dressing

[dem in texas]

10. been making my own for years

Believe it or not, I first tasted ranch dressing in a small ranching town in Montana back in the 1960's. At that time, you could not purchase it in the store, in fact, I didn't t know the name of the dressing, but loved it and worked out my own recipe.

I have made it many ways. depending what I have on hand; buttermilk, plain yogurt or sour cream. I like buttermilk best, always half mayo, half, the milk product. If too thick, thin with a little water. Then add spices and seasoning, etc. If you are going to make a large batch to keep to keep for a few days, I would not use any fresh herbs, just the dried type. This is safer.

It is really good on ham tacos. These are a good way to use left over ham. Make the filling with chopped up ham, some left over chopped baked potato sauteed with a little chopped onion. Top with lettuce and tomato, maybe avocado. Spoon on homemade ranch dressing. Yum, Yum.
