Asiago Peppercorn Ranch Dressing

This recipe is based on another parmesan peppercorn ranch recipe I found. I realized I was eating it so much that I should really try to make it healthier. So I fiddled with the ingredients until I came up with this version. It isn't quite as amazing as the original, but it is good enough for daily use (and I'm pretty picky). It really works well for all kinds of things besides salad. Left thick it makes a great dip for fried zucchini and I like to add some extra lemon juice to it and then toss chopped chicken in it to make a ranch flavored chicken salad to stuff in pita pockets. Try it for yourself! :)
