NOT YOUR MAMA’S RANCH DRESSING
Ranch dressing has been the top-selling dressing in this country since 1992, when it overtook Italian. Given that the bottled stuff has 19 grams of fat and 180 calories per serving, something had to be done! We may want many things like our mamas’—but not the fat-laden version of this dressing. Makes 2 cups (about 15 servings)
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream, such as Breakstone’s
½ cup Rocco’s Magnificent Mayonnaise or store-bought low-fat mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s Low-Fat Mayonnaise Dressing
¾ cup buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon celery salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl, and whisk to blend. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
