Inspired by lainey's Light Buttermilk Ranch Dressing I made my own giving it a citrus twist as well as other things. You can switch the lime for lemon, orange or tangerine as well. The lime not only gives it a wonderful flavor but also thickens the buttermilk further.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup dried parsley

2 teaspoons dried chives (or fresh)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (i prefer the larger amount)

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed

1/4 teaspoon herbes de provence (optional but i suggest leaving out the thyme if you choose this option)

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped green onion

4 tablespoons fat free sour cream (or thick yogurt)

3/4 cup 1% fat buttermilk

1/2 lime, juice of (to taste)

lime zest (optional)

salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Mix all dry base ingredients together and store in an air tight container.
2. Whisk all wet ingredients together except the lime juice.
3. Add 1 to 2 tbs of dry base to wet. Start with one and taste as you go.
4. Add the lime juice a tsp at a time until you have the balance you like.
5. Let dressing sit chilled in the fridge for at least an hour to let flavors meld.
