Ranch Dressing

This recipe calls for onion powder. I keep dried onion flakes on hand and pulverize the flakes into a powder, using a mortar and pestle, as needed for a recipe. Dried onion flakes keep much better than onion powder. 
I also keep buttermilk on hand for baking.  I buy a quart of buttermilk and into small storage bags I freeze one cup portions.
