Recipe: Parmesan Ranch Dressing
•
1/4 cup of sour cream
•
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
•
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
•
1/2 cup of finely grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onion

Combine all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

NOTE: If you wish to make this thinner, add a small amount of milk or buttermilk. Shake or stir really well.
•
I have not tried substituting yogurt for the sourcream or mayonnaise, but this is an option if you are trying to reduce fat.
