Ashton’s Ranch Dressing

INGREDIENTS

• 1 C. Mayonnaise

• 1 C. Buttermilk

• 1⁄2 TSP Dried Parsley

• 1⁄2 TSP Onion Powder

• 1⁄2 TSP Garlic Powder •1⁄2 TSP Salt 

• 1⁄2 TSP Black Pepper •1⁄2 TSP MSG
  2 Pinches of Thyme 

DIRECTIONS 

1. In a blender or food processor add all of the ingredients and blend. 

If your ranch is too watery you can add more mayonnaise, xanthan gum or a thickener of your choice. If you use xanthan gum, use 1⁄4-1⁄2 TSP mixed with 1 TBSP of Olive Oil and then add it to your ranch dressing and blend again. 

2. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one and half weeks to two weeks. 

How long you keep it is up to you. Shake well before each use. Refrigerate at least thirty minutes before serving. For best results wait overnight..
