Recipe Introduction

"Meet your new favorite ranch. This is the version that Chef Jesse Houston, of Saltine restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi, uses to tame his rendition of Nashville-hot fried birds — usually Cornish hens or quail. The refreshingly herbal concoction also makes a perfect dip for vegetables or chicken wings."

List of Ingredients

◦ ½ cup buttermilk
◦ ½ cup sour cream
◦ ½ cup mayonnaise
◦ ½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
◦ 1 ¼ teaspoons minced fresh chives
◦ 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
◦ 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
◦ ½ teaspoon onion powder
◦ ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
◦ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
◦ ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Whisk all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until smooth, then serve. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
