Homemade Ranch Dressing

My feeble attempt at trying to reproduce The Cheesecake Factory’s ranch dressing. This makes about 2.5 cups of dressing.

• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (homemade preferably)
• Buttermilk (1/2 cup – 1 cup depending on consistency you’d like)
• 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
• 1/2 cup Fresh Chives
• 1 clove Garlic (if you love Garlic, make it 5-6 cloves)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Squeeze of a small Lemon to taste
• 1/2 tsp of dried Dill (fresh is preferred and it can be a small handful of fresh)
• 1 Tbsp of Worchestershire Sauce

Optional Additions

• Garlic Powder
• Tabasco Sauce

Directions

Puree all ingredients except for buttermilk and Lemon. Remove and place in a bowl, stir in buttermilk and lemon until desired consistency and flavor is achieved.

Add any additional ingredients like tabasco sauce, garlic powder and dill. Taste and adjust ingredients to taste.  Let sit for 4 hours before serving in the refrigerator.
