Recipe Introduction


I've taken the basic ranch salad dressing one step further by incorporating a generous quantity of fresh herbs.





List of Ingredients



• 1/4 small bunch dill, stems removed (about 1/4 cup loosely packed leaves)
  
• 1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, stems removed (about 3/4 cup loosely packed leaves)
  
• 1/4 bunch thyme, stems removed (about 2 Tbs. loosely packed leaves)
  
• 1/2 bunch chives, coarsely chopped (1/3 cup)
  
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
  
• 2 Tbs. cider vinegar
  
• 1/2 tsp. coarse salt; more to taste
  
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  
• 3/4 tsp. hot sauce
  






Instructions



1. In a food processor, combine the dill, parsley, thyme, and chives with the mayonnaise; process until the herbs are chopped. With the motor running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and then add the vinegar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning.
   
2. Pour into a bottle or jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
   
   
   






Final Comments


Yields about 2 cups, enough for 12 portions of salad.
