Old-Time Buttermilk Dressing

This goes back a few years. It was very likely the forerunner to Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. My sister Jane gave us the recipe in the '60's, long before I was aware of Hidden Valley. Unfortunately, the mixes are hard to find, but almost any combination produces a good dressing.





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups mayonnaise (or 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise and 1 cup yogurt)
  
• 1 package Good Seasons Onion Dressing Mix
  
• 1 package Good Seasons Garlic Dressing Mix
  
• 1 package Good Seasons Bleu Cheese Dressing Mix
  
• 2-3 cups buttermilk
  






Instructions



1. Mix the dressing mixes with the mayonnaise. Stir until well-combined. Slowly stir in the buttermilk. Chill several hours before serving.
   






Final Comments


This dressing thickens as it chills. I always use at least 3 cups of buttermilk.
