Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. smoked black peppercorns
- 1 tsp. coriander seeds
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp. dehydrated minced garlic
- 1 tsp. yellow mustard seeds
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
Directions:
In a small skillet over medium heat, dry roast peppercorns, dehydrated garlic, coriander and mustard seeds until just aromatic or the seeds start to pop. This will take 1-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Immediately transfer into a small bowl so they will not continue to cook and burn. Next, grind roasted spices into a coarse powder using a spice or coffee grinder. Place ground spices into a medium bowl. Add the mayo and yogurt and stir to incorporate the spices thoroughly. Stir in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve cool over salad.

I am not a Ranch Dressing fan. I just don't understand why people go crazy for it. That being said, I really liked this recipe. It's "ranch-y" enough to please the people who are ranch lovers. But it's different enough to appeal to people (like me) who don't love ranch. It's even better if you make it a day ahead and let the flavors develop overnight. I served it as a dip and as a dressing. Everyone who tried it loved it.
