Organic Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing Recipe

From the kitchen of Dr. Randall Hansen

What follows is a fairly simple recipe for making the best all-natural buttermilk ranch dressing -- with no added sugars, preservatives, or other ingredients. Keto-friendly.

It takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare (a bit longer if you make your own mayo and buttermilk) and is ready for use or can be chilled for later use. I suggest placing the dressing in several mason jars.

Ingredients

Purchase organic ingredients to keep your salad dressing as clean as possible.

• 1 jar of 32 oz. healthy mayonnaise (or make your own*)

• 2 1/2 cups of organic buttermilk (or make your own**)

• 3 teaspoons of minced dried onion

• 10 tablespoons of dried parsley

• 3-4 teaspoons of minced garlic or Garlic Gold nuggets (or five small cloves of garlic, minced, with 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil)

• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper

• 1+ teaspoon Mrs. Dash "Table Blend" or similar to taste

• 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt to taste

Directions

Put all the ingredients in a bowl, starting with the mayonnaise and buttermilk, and blend together with a whisk. Ladle into vessels and refrigerate.
