Homemade Ranch Dressing

I always prefer to make my own dressings-they taste less sugary they have a richer flavor. Well, while I've done my own ranch dressing, I don't have a great photo- and here, I found one!

And for the recipe:

• 2tablespoons minced shallot
• 2tablespoons chopped basil
• 2tablespoons chopped chives
• 1tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1small clove garlic, minced
• 2teaspoons teaspoons lemon juice or white wine vinegar
• 1/2cup mayonnaise
• 2tablespoons yogurt or sour cream
• 1cup well-shaken buttermilk
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
• Honey, as needed

1. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the shallot, herbs, garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, mayonnaise, and yogurt or sour cream. Screw on the the lid and shake the jar to combine. Stir in most of the buttermilk. Check for consistency, and add more if needed. Taste, then season with salt, pepper and paprika. If the dressing is too sharp, drizzle in some honey to mellow the acidity. Taste again, and adjust if needed. 
2. Cover and refrigerate for an hour before using, to allow the flavours to blend and develop.
