I have always loved the Ranch dressing from Outback Steakhouse, and found this imitation recipe online. It's def not as good as the OS version, but it is pretty good, esp. since I'm not a fan of bottled ranch dressing from the store.

1 teaspoon Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing mix (buttermilk recipe)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon coarse grind black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (I didn't have garlic powder, so I omitted it. It tastes pretty good without)

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well.

2. Cover bowl and chill dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Makes 1 1/2 cups
