GARLIC RANCH SALAD DRESSING

I prefer to make my ranch salad dressing from scratch rather than buy it in a bottle or in a packet. There are no
preservatives in this dressing.
It is so delicious and if you want to really jazz it up, add some crumbled blue cheese to the dressing or directly to your salad and add some crumbled fried bacon.

2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 cup mayonnaise

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup minced Italian parsley
Zest & juice of ½ lemon
2 T minced fresh chives
½ t minced fresh or freeze-dried tarragon

½ t dried dill

¼ t dry mustard
1 t Worcestershire sauce
½ t white wine or champagne vinegar
½ t paprika

2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
Pour into a jar fitted with a lid and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
