Homemade Salad Dressing

I've been toying with the idea of making my own salad dressings.  There's so much yuckiness in even the lightest of store bought dressings, that I'm at least going to give it a try and hopefully make them on occasion (because let's be honest, the likelihood I'll ALWAYS do homemade dressing is slim to none).
Haven't tried this yet, but we're HUGE ranch fans (thank you, Midwest upbringing), so I'm going to give this one a try as soon as I have a kitchen again :)  I'll probably do my first go round with light or ff sour cream and see how it tastes. 

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Makes 1 1/2 cup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 scallion, finely minced
  • 1 tbs. fresh chopped dill
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh marjoram or other herb
  • 2 tbs. white wine vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, and have fun experimenting with different herb combinations. Keeps in the refrigerator for one week.
