Thus began a search for a homemade recipe that he would like. I first tried 2 recipes from friends, but neither were quite right and Aaron didn't like them. Finally I found a recipe for a dry mix. After tweaking the amounts of the perishable ingredients, I found success! Here's my slight adaptation of the recipe, found at cooksrecipes.com.
Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
1/2 cup dry buttermilk powder
1 Tb dried parsley, crushed
1 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried minced onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
* Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend until well blended and powdery.
* Store in container in refrigerator.
To use mix:
* Combine 1 Tb dry mix with 1/4 c milk and 1 c mayonnaise. Mix well and keep refrigerated.
The original recipe had more milk in it, and it came out very runny. So you can adjust the amount of seasoning mix, milk, and mayo to your liking. The buttermilk powder made a big difference in taste compared to recipes without it. You can find it in the baking isle.

Very cool recipe! I have all the ingredients except for the dried dill weed and the dry buttermilk. Does the parsley get "crushed" well enough by just using the blender?
Maisy - You're right, the parsley does get ground enough after being n the blender. I think I must have overlooked that "crushed" instruction because I didn't do that with the parsley first.
