Homemade Ranch/Blue Cheese Dressing

Anyone I know really loves Ranch dressing. I do too, but I am picky about it. I can't stand buttermilk ranch at all or the store bought brands. It grosses me out. I enjoy the stuff you can get at restaurants. So, I looked around and found a couple of recipes, yet none of them had the right flavor or consistency. Here is my version....


Homemade Ranch/Blue Cheese Dressing
makes about 2 cups
2/3 cup mayo (I use Hellman's)
2/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk (or if you like buttermilk ranch, use buttermilk instead)
1 Tbsp dried parsley
2 Tbsp dried dill
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp blue cheese (if you want to make blue cheese dressing)

I just take all of the ingredients and pop it all into the blender. If you are making blue cheese dressing, mix all but blue cheese, then at last moment, toss that in and gently pulse. It stores really well for about 2 weeks. So yummy!!!!
