Ranch Dressing

Who doesn't love a good ranch dressing? I hate buying the packets to make my own because they are expensive and full of MSG. Don't even get me started on the store bought, pre-made, stuff because that's just plain disgusting. This recipe is by no means healthy, but it is delicious and you know exactly what is in it.

Ranch Dressing

1 8oz pkg. cream cheese (I usually use the 1/3 less fat stuff)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. parsley flakes

Mix cream cheese with the seasoning. I usually use a hand mixer to get it lump free. Once that is smooth add:

2 cups mayo (The light stuff makes this a weird consistency and it's pretty nasty. I would highly recommend using the full fat stuff for the best flavor.)

Mix well then add:

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Let it chill in the fridge for an hour or so. It will get really thick. You can add more milk if you like it a little more runny.

I usually half this recipe because it makes me feel better about using 1 cup of mayo compared to 2 cups.
