Ranch Dressing

Homemade. 

I have to confess that I felt quite domestic when I finished this first attempt at Ranch Dressing. This little pitcher of ranch inspired me to eat several baby carrots and determined that yes, we would in fact be having pizza for dinner. Pizza is for Ranch-dipping, you know. However, this recipe is very much a work in progress, especially considering the fact that it was far too runny for much carrot-dipping to occur. Here's about what we've got so far, but please adjust spices to your taste!

Ingredients: 
1/2 c whole milk plain yogurt (I made the "runny" mistake of using a low fat version)
1/2 c buttermilk
extra virgin olive oil, just a splash
1/4 c sour cream
3/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp. black pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/8 tsp. celery seed

To do:

• Whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, and sour cream
• Add spices and whisk it all together!

Notes: The consensus at our place = too runny for anything but salads and in need of a little more "umph..."Next time I will be sure to use the full fat yogurt and keep adding spices until it's got just the right zip to it.
