 I love growing fresh herbs so am always on the lookout for interesting ways to use them.  This ranch from Sanford D'Amato of the Milwaukee culinary scene makes good use of my herb garden! 

​This recipie came from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel column by Sanford D'Amato.  He recommends to serve this with bibb lettuce and radishes.

Easy Buttermilk Herb Dressing
1 ounce green onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, tightly packed
1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon leaves, tightly packed
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, tightly packed
1/4 cup dill fronds, medium packed
1 cup mayonnaise, divided
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground

​Rinse green onions under warm water and drain.  Place with herbs in a small food processor and process until fine.  Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and continue processing until well mixed.  Remove from processor and add to a bowl.  Add remaining mayonnaise and sour cream and whisk until smooth.  Add remaining ingredients and whisk until combined.  Adjust seasoning if necessary.  Refrigerate until ready to use.  You will have some dressing left over.
