recipe from joythebaker.com

     from The Pioneer Woman (I figure she knows a thing or two about ranching and dressing)

1 cup of real mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

buttermilk (to desired consistency)

1 clove of garlic

1/4 cup Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped

2 Tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

salt to taste

healthy pinch of freshly ground black pepper

dash of Tabasco

Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of salt onto the garlic.  With a fork, mash the garlic and salt into a thick paste.

In a bowl combine all of the ingredients except for the buttermilk.  Stir.  Add buttermilk until you've reach the desired consistency.  Taste and season as necessary.  Chill for a couple hours before serving.  Thin with milk when it comes out of the fridge if you wish.
