Mayonnaise and Ranch Recipes

Below are two recipes that I have made so far. I am planning on attempting a homemade version of Miracle Whip, which just incorporates a few more ingredients into the mayonnaise. The ranch I made uses the mayonnaise recipe. The ranch recipe is a replica of Hidden Valley butter milk ranch, the kind that comes in packet and you mix with butter milk an mayonnaise. I'm almost positive if you replace the mayo and buttermilk with sour cream you will have their ranch dip.  Enjoy! The MyPoints line of the nutritional information section is equivalent to Weight Watchers points.

Mayonnaise

1 1/2  cups soybean oil
2 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2  teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/16 teaspoon paprika
1/16 teaspoon garlic powder
1/16 teaspoon onion powder

1. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
2. Mix together all ingredients except oil.
3. Using a hand held mixer. Slowly add oil, mixing constantly until all oil is incorporated. If you mix the oil too quickly it could separate and be really disgusting. If that occurs, stop adding oil and mix until all the oil has been incorporated, then continue adding oil. The finished product should be light in color and stand up on its own.
