RANCH DRESSING WITH ADDED CREAM CHEESE



With Cream cheese

RANCH DRESSING
An all-time favorite in our house just got better!   On a whim I added about  1/cup spreadable cream cheese to the blender along with the other ingredients.  The result - superb!   This is so good, I can eat it by itself using a spoon!!   Hmmm....  hmmm, I won't make it any other way again.  Even the thickness was delightful.

1 cup mayonnaise (250 mL)
3/4 cup buttermilk (175 mL)
1/2 cup sour cream (125 mL)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (15 mL)
2 tsp dried parsley (10 mL)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (1 mL)
1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)

Now add 1/2 cup spreadable or regular cream cheese to the above ingredients!

In medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Helpful Hint:  Make your own buttermilk - place 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice or white vinegar in measuring cup and fill with low-carb milk or cream or half-and-half, etc.
