This looks fantastic!

The NY Times ran an article on the California history of ranch dressing a little while ago, and directions on how to make it with fresh or dried ingredients (the original was only made with dried). I bet if you kept a stash of the dried mix on hand and just added it to the avocado/sour cream/buttermilk base here, it would be a handy pantry item for dips and dressings.

This is pretty much the best thing I’ve ever tasted!
