·       2 tablespoons dried chives

·       2 teaspoons dried dill

·       1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder

FOR BUTTERMILK DRESSING:

·       1/2 cup mayonnaise

·       1/2 cup sour cream or plain nonfat greek yogurt

·       3 tablespoons Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

·       2/3 to 1 cup of buttermilk to thin out as desired

FOR A DIP:

·       1 cup sour cream or plain nonfat greek yogurt*

·       2 to 3 tablespoons Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

·       buttermilk to thin out, as desired

NOTES

3 tablespoons of the ranch mix is equivalent to one packet.

*If making the dip with plain nonfat greek yogurt, try it with 3/4 cup yogurt plus 1/4 cup mayo to balance the tanginess.

It's always to make ranch dressing and ranch dip a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to develop.
