This recipe sounds delicious! I make my own buttermilk Ranch and love it. I will definitely have to try yours too! It’s a completely personal choice, but I ALWAYS USE ORGANIC ingredients, when making my ranch. That way, you stay away from GMOs. Thank you so much for sharing this and I am going to be trying it, soon! 🙂
How in the world do you grate a clove of garlic?
Thanks for catching that for me, Cathy! I must have been on the computer late that night!
I’ve updated the recipe.
