Real Ranch Dressing

5.0(673)

This is real ranch dressing, not something bound with preservatives and corn syrup, a creamy, savory topping for mixed greens and a cool dip for summer days. You make it in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, which you can then use to store it in the fridge for a few days.
