Homemade Ranch Dressing and a Book Review #LitHappens

This herby, tangy buttermilk dressing takes only minutes to make, costs less than the bottled version and contains only ingredients that you can pronounce.  This recipe gives you two cups of dressing that will be good for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.  Or so they say....mine never lasts that long.

It is perfect for dressing salads, putting on sandwiches or dipping vegetables for a snack.  I used some of this batch to cream some cucumbers and onions so I left it thick.  Then I put it in the refrigerator and packed it in the Teen's lunchbox with carrot and celery sticks before adding a little more buttermilk to it for dressing a salad.
