Ranch Dressing with a Kick

Ranch dressing is something many in this family love. In this house it is simply not just for a green salad but for many other things as well. This recipe kicks it up just a  bit more I hope you enjoy!!!


Kicked-up Ranch Dressing
makes 1 1/2 cups, prep: 5 min, chill: 30 min +

1 cup mayonnaise (any substitutions at at your own risk! Light mayo would work fine but miracle whip-I think not.)
1 0.4 oz buttermilk ranch dressing mix packet (about 1 tbsp mix)
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup milk, any kind
dash tabasco sauce

Combine all ingredients, mixing well.
Don’t bother tasting it at this point, it will be thin and bland. Just put it into a seal-able container and put it in the fridge to chill at least 1/2 an hour.
Now taste it and adjust seasonings as needed. Like magic, it should have thickened up nicely and the flavor will be really punched up.
