Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix 1 packet
1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper

Instructions

Add buttermilk, mayonnaise, grated parmesan, ranch dressing mix and pepper to a bowl.
Use a whisk to mix together until completely smooth.
Pour into a pitcher or a mason jar for serving.

Notes

Storage: Ranch dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. These deli containers or a mason jar works great.

For Thinner Dressing: Whole milk makes a thinner dressing than buttermilk. If dressing is too thin using buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Uses: Top your favorite salads, makes a great pasta salad dressing or coleslaw dressing. Great as a dip for fried foods, chips or vegetables. Try it on pizza or dipping breadsticks.

Variations for Peppercorn Ranch

Salsa Ranch: Add 1/2 cup picante sauce or salsa in place of 1/2 of the buttermilk for a Tex-Mex twist.
Creamy BBQ Ranch: Mix ranch with equal parts bbq sauce for a unique dipping sauce. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Easy Blue Cheese Dressing: Mix in crumbled blue cheese and skip the Parmesan.

Make Peppercorn Ranch Dip

Substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt for the buttermilk. Cover and chill 30 minutes to one hour before serving. Great with crunchy vegetables, crackers or chips.
