I made 2 major chgs in this recipe & almost felt guilty reviewing it, but my outcome was so great that I hope you will not mind my methods. Ranch dressing is impossible to find here, so I made my own using Recipe #41602 by Miss Annie & then made the marinade as written. My major chgs were to use it on *cod fish fillets* & bake them vs grill them. I cooked the fillets in a baking dish w/the marinade over them. When nearly done, I poured off the liquid & returned the fillets to the oven to finish cooking while I used the liquid & marinade mix to make a light sauce for them. Cod can get dry & taste fishy, but these fillets were moist & very flavourful. The way I see it, this is another creative cooking success story & I hope you agree as we love this marinade & hope to use it often. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

Very delicious and MOIST! I tweaked it with adding an herb and spice mix that I make myself and keep on hand...Simon and Garfunkel rub (parsley, sage,rosemary & thyme, of coarse) with garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and a little granulated sugar. I usually use just buttermilk, but the dip brings it to a higher level.
