Ranch Style Dressing
I was hungry for chicken wings and didn't have my usual packet of ranch dressing mix. I decided to make up my own dip from what I had on hand in my rv. I have lots of spices and dried herbs so I just started mixing and tasting as I went. I like sour cream in a dip but didn't have any so I made quick buttermilk by mixing some lemon juice in regular milk. It came out great. I will never buy the packets again, at least I know what's in this and it's all natural stuff. This makes a great salad dressing, veggie dip, chip dip and hot wing dip.
