Ranch Dressing the Way Nature Intended

Store bought Ranch Dressing is full of artificial ingredients and fillers.  It is also not cheap, considering how inexpensive it is to make.  This is so easy you will wonder why you ever thought to buy it.  Make up several seasoning packets and put them with your spices for ready to go dressing!
Ingredients:
1 C Mayonnaise-click link for recipe http://expandingfrosting.blogspot.com/2010/05/mayonnaise.html
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp dried dillweed
1/4 tsp ground garlic-not garlic salt, just straight garlic
1/4 tsp onion powder-not onion salt, just straight onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Proceedure
Wisk together in a bowl the mayonnaise and sour cream.  Add all of the dried ingredients and wisk till completely integrated.  Transfer to a sealable container and refrigerate.  It will keep for 7-10 days. (Mine has kept for a very long time-weeks!)   If it is too thick simply add a Tablespoon of milk at a time.  Wisk together completely before adding more milk.  Add until desired consistency is achieved.
