Who knew making ranch dressing was so easy, quick, and delicious? I whipped this up in about 5 minutes. It's even better the next day, but is definately awesome right away. Serve with vegetables to dip into it, over burgers, or dip your bacon-cheese grilled jalapenos in it. Oh yeah, you could pour it over your salad too.
Homemade ranch dressing

3/4 c half and half
2 T lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
a few big pinches of salt
1/4 t pepper
1/2 c sour cream
1 T minced parsley
1 T minced chives (or more!)
1/2 t hot paprika
a few dashed of hot sauce

Combine half and half with lemon juice in a small jar. Let sit a minute or two, until thickened. Whisk in remaining ingredients, taste for salt, and then chill. Keeps covered in the fridge about a week, but make sure you shake the jar before using.
