The dusky flavor of smoked paprika makes quite an impact on the usual creamy ranch. We either make this from scratch or just sprinkle the paprika into bottled ranch. A little smoked paprika is also a nice addition to any basic vinaigrette.

Ingredients

　　1/2 cup mayonnaise

　　1/2 cup buttermilk

　　2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　1 garlic clove, mashed into a paste

　　1 teaspoon smoked paprika

　　Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
