PW's Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

* 1 clove (to 2 Cloves) Garlic
* Salt To Taste
* ¼ cups Italian Flat-leaf Parsley
* 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives
* 1 cup (real) Mayonnaise
* ½ cups Sour Cream
* Buttermilk (as Needed To Desired Consistency)
* White Vinegar (optional, To Taste)
* Worcestershire Sauce (optional, To Taste)
* Fresh Dill (optional, To Taste)
* Cayenne Pepper (optional, To Taste)
* Paprika (optional, To Taste)
* Fresh Oregano (optional, To Taste)
* Tabasco (optional, To Taste)

Preparation Instructions

Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle about an 1/8 to ¼ teaspoons of salt on it and mash it into a paste with a fork. Chop the parsley, chives and any of the optional herbs very finely and add to the garlic.

In a bowl combine all ingredients, adding other optional ingredients as you wish, tasting frequently and adjusting seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving, thin with milk or buttermilk if desired.

(Don’t overdo the garlic or you’ll be up all night, emailing me about your heartburn.)
