Introduction

Our family eats LCHF style, so we don't buy milk (too much sugar). If I am trying to make something that would normally use milk, I can usually substitute a blend of cream and water. However, when I make my favorite salad dressing this way, the result is a little too thin. Adding a little sour cream to the blend is a great solution. You can play with the proportions to meet your own preferences. Here are the proportions I use: Our family eats LCHF style, so we don't buy milk (too much sugar).

Ingredients

    1 cup Mayonnaise (I use Hellman's)
    2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
    3 Tablespoons Sour Cream
    1 packet or 3 Tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Original Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix
    1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons water


Directions

The easiest way to make this is to combine the ingredients in a jar or a dressing shaker bottle and shake well. If possible, allow this to sit for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This gives it time to thicken and allows the flavors to blend.

Serving Size: Makes 2 cups or 16 servings of 2 Tablespoons each
