Oh, and I just saw yesterday that Mark Bittman included a ranch dressing recipe in his great 101 Salads article in the New York Times. I’m dying to try this one too – not that it’s wildly different, but I think the buttermilk powder would really kick up the buttermilk flavor.

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup buttermilk powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or parsley leaves (optional).

1. Put mayonnaise, buttermilk and buttermilk powder in a medium jar with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle with a little salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Add chives or parsley if you like, put lid on, and shake jar vigorously for 30 seconds or so.

2. Taste and adjust seasoning. Use immediately or refrigerate for a few days. It will keep longer if you do not add the fresh herbs.

I love this recipe (found it on PW a few weeks ago) – I kept it around a couple of weeks, and it was fine. I do find it needs some vinegar to give it the right balance of flavors.

I must say, ( without shrugging my shoulder ) that it was delicious, delicius and delicious.
What more could I say?
Oh, yes: it was delicious.
Thanks!

I loved this! I did the “low-fat” version and accidentally forgot to buy chives — it still tasted great and very “ranch dressing” like. I added a small splash of white vinegar to mine.

I will definitely try this! My boyfriend is really picky about his ranch, and I hope I make it right, lol!

Joy! Congrats - one a few select food blogs featured on the Pioneer Woman's new recipe site? You're in AMAZING company. This must have been the email you received from the PW herself, yes?

I bet my daughter will eat this with a spoon…and, hopefully, some carrots!
