Dill Ranch Dressing

My favorite dressing at PCC is this fresh “dill ranch” dressing. They only sell it in small one serving sizes with salads to go, so I looked up the recipe, made it, and it turned out just as excellent as the in store version!

Here you go! 🙂

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder (I omitted because I didn’t have this ingredient, still tasted great!)
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons milk (to make thinner if desired)

Directions

Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir together with a whisk until the herbs and spices are mixed evenly.
For a thinner dressing add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Refrigerate until ready to serve!
Serve with fresh cut vegetables or salad.

Thanks PCC Natural Markets for this recipe!
