Ranch Dressing, not just for salad anymore!

So, if you are like most Americans, you think Ranch Dressing is the nectar of the gods... you put it on salad, fries, chicken wings, your sexual partner, pizza and all veggies. Well if your doctor puts you on a low-sodium diet that makes grabbing that bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch off limits. Which is in the 280mg of sodium ballpark. That's for 2 Tablespoons too. you know you poor more of that on your salad!
Well here is a recipe for homemade ranch that is only 90mg of sodium for 2 Tablespoons!

1/4 cup of mayonaise
1/4 cup of sour cream (not low fat or fat free)
1/4 cup of buttermilk or 1T of vinegar and milk to equal 1/4 cup
1 clove of garlic - crushed
1/4 t dry mustard
1/8 t of black pepper
2 T of chopped fresh Dill

Combine first 3 ingredients then add the rest. 
Refrigerate in a covered container for about an hour

To make as a dip, add more sour cream to consistency you want.
It is delicious , my daughter who is picky even likes it.
