Homemade Ranch Dressing

Combine all ingredients except the herbs in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Fold in the herbs. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed, except for the hot sauce.

For best results, let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour to let the flavors marry. I think you’ll find the hot sauce really soaks in during this time and you won’t need to add any more; but if you want yours to have a little more kick, by all means add more. I have previously made the mistake of adding extra hot sauce immediately because I initially couldn’t taste it, then being very sorry a few days later when the ranch set my tongue on fire.

Store covered in the refrigerator. It will last for a week. This will yield about 2 cups.
