Best Ranch EVER

Okay,

Jeff isn't a big fan of ranch dressing. I happen to love it for dipping chicken nuggets, french fries, and veggies (what I put on my salad depends on my mood, I'm a lover of all dressings, unlike most Idaho/Utah born and raised people). Since Jeff doesn't care much for ranch, I hate to buy it. I feel guilty since I'm the only one that eats it...hence the beginning of my quest for the perfect homemade ranch dressing recipe.

Well darlings...I FOUND IT! I am currently chomping down on some sweet bell peppers with it right now! Delicious and super easy...and chances are you will have all the ingredients in your spice cabinet, which means its a really cheap way to get your ranch fix.

I have to say...after tasting this, I may not go back to the pre bottled stuff ever again.

Bon Appetite!

You will need:

2 cups mayo or miracle whip *(I used miracle whip because its what we had in the fridge. It does have a slightly sweeter taste than regular ranch, but other than that, I can't tell the difference)

1 cup milk

3TBS vinegar

1-2 tsp seasoned salt (taste it after you've put 1 tsp in, if you need more add it. Remember, you can always add spices but you can't take them away.)

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dill

2 TBS parsley flakes

Put all the ingredients into whatever you plan on mixing/shaking it in and shake until smooth. The best part is, you can eat it right away...the flavors will infuse more as time goes on but it tastes pretty awesome fresh too.
