Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

I hate (that may be a strong word, but it's true) most bottled ranch dressings.  For as long as I can remember, my Mom and Grandma have used the Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch packets to make ranch dressing and so when I make ranch, that's what I have always used.  About a month ago, I decided to make my own ranch dressing (actually Guy Fieri's ranch dressing) for a loaded baked potato pizza we were having for dinner.  It was so flavorful and yummy that I may have a hard time going back to my stand by ranch packets (except for when we eat taco salad with Nalley Chili, anything else wouldn't seem right).

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
3 tablespoons chopped chives
2 or 3 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane

In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and blend well with an immersion blender (or blend all ingredients in a blender).  Blend it just enough to blend the ingredients well, but not well enough that there are no signs of any fresh herbs being in the dressing.
