The 'Dip Dip' Sauce (Ranch)

Ranch dressing. Everyone loves it. Have you ever made it?

It's surprisingly easy, and uses ingredients you probably already have in your home.

I've been making all of our dressings for several years now. I have a few 'signature' varieties that we make regularly. They're quick, and even better - really tasty. I can normally give The Husband a few options while I prep dinner and whip one up then. It's that simple. M loves anything that accompanies a dip, so we 'dip dip' often (though within reason and correct portion sizes) to encourage attempting the dreaded vegetable.

This is our ranch. I like it tangy, so feel free to half the vinegar and give it a taste first. The yogurt is a player too, so again, maybe do all mayo. Make it your own.


Ranch:
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp (heaping) dried parsley
1/2 tsp (heaping) dried dill
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground back pepper
2 tsp distilled white vinegar 

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Honey Mustard Dressing

Another creamy dressing for your tasting pleasure.

This one is really just too easy. In case you haven't noticed, mason jars are great for this particular application.  Combine all ingredients and shake. Sometimes dressings need a bit of stirring (this one does to break up the honey), but that's not so horrible, is it?


Honey Mustard:
1/2 cup mayo
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
