Packaged ranch dressing has loads of sugar and many other things that we’re not sure we want to feed our children and grandchildren. Homemade salad dressing beats the pants off store-bought, because you can control what’s in it. This one has no sugar. The fat is not problematic in any way. Most important, it has minimal salt. Remember, you can always add salt, but you can’t take it out. Kids love ranch dressing and this is a great recipe. Use a really good mayonnaise.
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon peeled and minced red onion or shallot
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch (⅛ teaspoon) of crushed red pepper flakes
Put the mayonnaise, buttermilk, onion or shallot, parsley, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Whisk until well combined.
