Homemade Ranch Dressing & Random Kitchen Tips from Chef Maki

Anytime you cook something in the kitchen, it is nice to have a prep chef handy to get the ingredients and do other odd jobs.Always make sure to watch where you splash and splatter, especially if your view while cooking resembles mine.

For this particular recipe, let's begin with the end in mind. Voila! Homemade ranch in a mason jar.

This ranch is quite tasty and doesn't have any ingredients in it that I can't pronounce. (My Mama taught me that the more things on a label's list of ingredients you can't pronounce, the less likely it is to be a healthy product. -- you know, like dianalyne guanalytic sulfonate or some such junk.)

You will need:

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Plain yogurt (click here for easy homemade crockpot yogurt.)
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Dill weed
• 1 Large clove minced garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
• 1 TBS Dried parsley
• 1 tsp Onion powder

You can try fresh dill, parsley or minced onion, but add more fresh than what is listed for dried above. Just whisk all the ingredients together with a wire whisk. If you make it in the blender, it will be runnier. After it is all mixed, pour it into a mason jar for storing in the fridge. When serving, use a spoon or pour it into a measuring cup that has a pour spout.
