Something You Can Do

Are you ready for another recipe? This one is very easy and delicious with most any meal. Before you begin, read all the directions and be sure that you have all the ingredients. Mom will be glad to have you help in the kitchen if you are a careful cook and clean up everything afterwards. So let’s begin:

Favorite Ranch Dressing

Ingredients:

• 1 c. mayonaise
• 1 c. buttermilk
• 2 t. dried onion flakes
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/8 t. garlic powder
• 1 T. dried parsley

Also gather together: a 2-cup or 4-cup liquid measure, measuring spoons, whisk, and spoon.

1. Use the spoon to scoop mayonaise into the liquid measure. Fill up to the 1-cup line.
2. Now pour in the buttermilk until it reaches the 2-cup line. Isn’t that simple? 1 cup of mayonaise + 1 cup of buttermilk = 2 cups
3. It is time to add the seasonings. Use the correct measuring spoons and add them to the mayonaise and buttermilk. If you don’t have an 1/8th teaspoon measure, just grab a pinch of the garlic powder with your fingers.
4. Use the whisk to blend everything together. If your liquid measure is a 2-cup one, be very slow and careful so that you won’t spill.
5. Serve your ranch dressing with a cheerful smile, either by pouring it from the liquid measure or by using a spoon. It is very good with salad, rice, potatoes, vegetables, tortilla chips, or casseroles. Try it with your own menu and see what you like best!
6. Store the leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator to enjoy another day. Wash up the dishes and wipe the counter to leave the kitchen like you would want Jesus to find it.
