Spicy Ranch Dressing/Dip - Crazy Cooking Challenge

Wow! Another month has passed and it is time for this month's Crazy Cooking Challenge hosted by Tina at Moms Crazy Cooking. This month's theme - Ranch Dressings and Dips. If you are not familiar with the challenge it is a fun monthly linky where we are given a certain theme. Past themes have been:

Grilled Cheese

Spaghetti with Red Sauce

Chocolate Cake

Chicken Noodle Soup

These are just the ones I participated in. To view all the challenges and to get all the details visit Moms Crazy Cooking - Crazy Cooking Challenge.

Now for my version of THIS ranch dressing/dip recipe from food.com. I cut it down to 1/4 the original recipe and subbed red pepper for accent seasoning (MSG). It turned out quite thick, more of a dip than a dressing.

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup buttermilk or sub 1/4 cup milk + 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for five minutes

1/4 tsp red pepper

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp dried minced onion

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 Tbsp parsley flakes

Combine all ingredients and mix well. 

Pour into jar, cover and chill. We LOVE ranch dressing with onion rings. 

So I served this up with some onion rings and burgers! The added spice made this super yummy and I may be making this again soon - but next time I won't cut it down to 1/4, I'll make the full recipe.
