    Re: Recipe for Ranch dressing using fresh herbs?

    Someone posted one on the week-end in response to a question posted by adamuk...I don't remember if it used fresh herbs or dried. Generally, you can substitute fresh for dried, just triple the amount.

    Found it...
    Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

    1 cup Buttermilk
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 tsp. Accent (optional, it's MSG which adds flavor)
    1/2 tsp. onion flakes
    1/2 tsp. garlic salt
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    1/2 tsp. parsley flakes

    Dump everything into the blender and blend well. Store in refrigerator. I keep some of it in a squeeze bottle. It's a little thin, but easy to squirt all over your salad. If you prefer plain, not buttermilk dressing, substitute sour cream for the buttermilk.

      You'll have to substitute buttermilk with sour cream anyway, because buttermilk is not "legal" during Induction.
