Buttermilk Ranch Dressing or Dip

Serves 12

Creamy cool ranch dip makes any snack just a bit yummier! This easy recipe starts with protein rich greek yogurt and adds common spices you likely already have.

Thin this recipe with additional buttermilk to create a dressing that can be used in meal prep salad jars or over your favorite salad.

Make a batch of the seasoning blend ahead of time by doubling or tripling the measures. Store in a glass jar labeled 'ranch seasoning'. When ready to make the dip use roughly 2 Tbsp of the spice blend added to the dip base.

When fresh herbs are available, use 1.5 Tbsp fresh chives, 1 tbsp each fresh dill & parsley & 1 clove garlic minced, in place of the dried or powdered herbs.
