DIY Homemade Ranch Dressing

Last fall, I was on a kick for making my own homemade condiments.  Each recipe I tried was successful.  Then, when our move to Mississippi was confirmed, I stopped my new-found love of do-it-yourself concoctions because I knew they would all be wasted as they wouldn't survive a 3-day journey across the country.

Now that we're semi-settled in, I am enthusiastically diving back into the DIY journey.  This week, I will supply you with the three condiments recipes I made before the move, starting with my favorite of the three, this ranch dressing.  When I made my first batch last September, I doubled the recipe and still used it all up before it went bad.  I made Chicken Ranch Pizza, used it as a dip for my Oven "Fried" Pickles, and pretty much slathered it onto every other food that entered my  mouth.  When ranch dressing is available, it's quite possible I abuse it.  Meaning, it goes on everything.  Now that I can have it homemade, without preservatives, I feel much better about this habit.  😉  And, having it homemade is a measly 5 minutes away.
