Ranch Dressing

Ranch Dressing makes EVERYTHING taste better!!  I decided I wanted to eat more salads, but really hate most dressing.  On one of my usual trips to Saltgrass Steak House for lunch, I decided I'd opt for the grilled chicken salad (no croutons or tortilla strips though) with RANCH!!   Their ranch was so good, I ended up eating there like three more times that week.  I decided their probably had some stuff I should not have...so that lead me on this new quest.  Here is my first attempt:

1/2 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/2 Cup Full Fat Buttermilk
1/2 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celtic sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

I mixed the liquids first, with a whisk and then added in the dried spices and let it set in the fridge for about an hour.

This tasted pretty good, but I felt it was too "mayo" tasting.  I should not be able to taste that the dressing has mayo in it!  I've done a little more looking around and have some more suggestions of things to try on my next round.  But the fact my 8 year old took down THREE bowls of chef salad with this dressing, means I'm on the right track!!
