I make up the following often. I love it made with lo-cal cottage cheese. you would never know it is lo-cal and good for you!
Ranch Dressing Mix

2 Tbsp. sea salt
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. garlic powder

Stir all ingredients together. Store in airtight container. Stir mix each time before using. Makes enough for 4 pints salad dressing.

Ranch Dressing

3-1/8 tsp. mix
1 C. mayonaisse
1 C. sour cream
1/2 onion, chopped fine.

Stir all ingredients together with a wire whip or spoon. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator. (Flavor is best when stored for 24 hours before serving.) Stir before serving.

Lo-Cal Ranch Dressing

1 lb. cottage cheese
1/2 onion, chopped fine
3-1/8 tsp. mix
1 tsp. lemon juice

Blender whip cottage cheese, lemon juice and mix to sour-creaminess. If it is too thick, dilute with a little water. Put in jar and mix in onions with a spoon. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
