Steps

  1. Put the scallion, basil, lemon juice, Dijon, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small food processor. Run it 15–20 seconds, until you have a smooth green base with no visible chunks of garlic.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, yogurt and buttermilk. Blend just until the dressing is uniform and pourable — don't over-run it or it thins out.
  3. Scrape every bit into a liquid measuring cup. Top up with buttermilk, a teaspoon at a time, until the dressing sits exactly at 240 ml. Taste and correct the salt now, before dosing.
  4. Nothing here is warm, so add the full 80 mg of tincture straight into the measured dressing and whisk for 30 seconds — keep whisking past the point where it looks mixed, so the dose is spread through every spoonful.
  5. Pour into a clean 250 ml jar, seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour so the garlic and herbs come forward. Shake before each use and portion with a measuring spoon onto salads, wedges or crudités.
  6. Label the jar: House Ranch · 80 mg THC total · 5 mg per tablespoon · 16 tablespoons · made [date] · 21+ only.
