Looking for a "clone recipe" for Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix" This is the one!!!  Mix up this DRY powder mix and store it in an airtight jar for up to six months!!  What a great thing to have on hand over the holidays!!!
HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH CLONE
3/4 CUP BUTTERMILK POWDER (see note below)2 TABLESPOONS DRY PARSLEY1 TEASPOON DRY DILL1 TABLESPOON ONION POWDER (not onion salt)2 TEASPOONS DRY ONION FLAKES1 1/2 TEASPOONS GARLIC POWDER (not garlic salt)1 TEASPOON KOSHER SALT1/2 TEASPOON COARSE BLACK PEPPER2 TEASPOONS DRY CHIVES1/4 TEASPOON DRY THYME
Don't "freak out" about all of the onion in this recipe...you will NOT taste it.
Put all of the above ingredients into your food processor and give it a couple of 10 second pulses, then it's ready to use. This DRY mix lasts 6 months in an airtight jar, just give it a hard shake before you spoon it out. I like Hoosier Hill Farm Buttermilk Powderfrom Amazon.com, but any Buttermilk Powder will work. You will find it on the baking aisleor near the powdered milk section.
For 1 batch of salad dressing, whisk the following together:

3 Tablespoons of the DRY MIX 
1/2 cup of mayonnaise1/2 cup sour cream3/4 cup of milk
Make sure you chill this mixture in the fridge overnight. If you  taste it right after you whisk it all together, you are NOT going to be happy with it..........but SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENS to it overnight........ it really THICKENS UP and tastes just lik...
