Ranch Dip




Another simple to make, yet delicious, condiment.  You can use fresh drained yogurt instead of sour cream, and fresh minced garlic for added nutrition.  You can also substitute fresh herbs.  Double the quantity for any fresh herbs you use.  I do not buy Horizon products; Organic Valley or Wallaby are better choices if you buy your sour cream.  Do not buy low fat versions.  Remember, it is important to have a dip with good quality fats with fresh veggies to help you absorb the fat soluble vitamins.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sour cream (or drained yogurt sour cream)
2 Tbl mayonnaise (I use Hain's Safflower mayonnaise)
1/2 tsp raw apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

In a bowl, whisk together above ingredients.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
