Herbed Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
Move over commercially prepared ranch dressings, there’s a new, easy to make dressing in town & it’s comin’ for your salad! Everyone I’ve served this to says it’s the best ranch dressing they’ve ever had & ask me what brand it is. They’re surprised when I tell them I made it from scratch & beg for the recipe.
