2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
1 3/4 Teaspoons Dried Dillweed
1 Teaspoon Dried Chives
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

To Make Ranch Dressing:
Mix 1 Tablespoon of Ranch Seasoning with 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise and 1/4 Cup Buttermilk. Whisk well to combine. Store in the refrigerator.

Actually I have been searching for an alternative! Thank you! The grocery store dressings are horrible (ingredient wise) and it is hard to find organic so I usually just use olive oil or basalmic. I am definitely going to try this!
