This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Ranch is supposed to be rich and creamy, not loaded with sugar. Mayo and buttermilk keep the dressing as creamy as can be; parsley, chives, and scallions give it a fresh pop that you'll never find in a store-bought bottle.
2 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk, more if needed
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
Combine the garlic and salt in a mortar and mash to a paste with the pestle (or use a food processor).
Combine the mashed garlic, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, scallion, vinegar, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add additional buttermilk if the dressing is too thick.
Use the dressing immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I've tried many ranch dressings but this one is my favorite. It's the absolute best! I made it exactly like the recipe said and it came out perfect!!!!! My favorite part was how creamy it was. You don't need to worry about the sugar because the recipe doesn't need it. The only thing I might change next time is using green onions instead of chives because they have a stronger flavor.

This recipe is amazing and is the best ranch dressing I have ever tasted! I'd start out with a smaller amount of buttermilk and then add if you want a thinner consistancy.
