I've been using this one for a long time. The parmesan cheese is optional.

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

3/4 c Mayonnaise
1/2 c Buttermilk
1 sm Clove garlic; minced
1/2 ts Minced dried onion
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Dried parsley
1/4 ts Freshly ground pepper

2 tb Parmesan cheese

Mix all ingredients except buttermilk in a small bowl. Slowly blend in
buttermik. Chill at least 2 hours.

NOTES : Use only real mayonnaise - Miracle Whip is not a good choice for
this dressing.
