Homemade Salad Dressing

Okay, here are two salad dressing mixes that I make:

Hidden Valley Ranch Mix:

15 saltine crackers
1 C parsley flakes
1/2 c minced onions
2 T dill weed
1/2 C onion salt
1/2 C garlic salt
1/4 C onion powder
1/4 C garlic powder

Process crackers until finely powdered. Add parsley, onion and dill weed and process again. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Store in container with tight fitting lid.

1 T mix = .4 oz store bought package

To use combine 1 T mix with 1 C buttermilk (I use a milk that I have added a little vinegar to and let sit for minute) and 1 C mayonnaise.

Italian Dressing Mix

1 T garlic salt
1 T onion powder
1 T sugar
2 T dried oregano
1 t pepper
1/4 t thyme
1 t basil
1 T parsley
1/4 celery salt (I omit)
2 T salt

In small bowl mix together. Store in tightly sealed container.

To prepare whisk 1/4 white vinegar, 2/3 C canola oil, 2 T water and 2 T mix.
