Linda’s Ranch Dressing

Linda’s Ranch Dressing

• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 scallion (white and green parts), thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• freshly ground black pepper

1. Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and, with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste.
2. Scrape the paste into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, chives, parsley and scallions and whisk well to make a creamy dressing.
3. Use immediately or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days. (Makes about 1 1/3 cups.)
