Description

A creamy, flavorful homemade ranch dressing made with fresh herbs, tangy buttermilk, and simple pantry ingredients—far better than store-bought.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (more for thinner consistency)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
  2. Add lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the fresh dill, chives, and parsley.
  4. Adjust seasoning or add additional buttermilk for a thinner dressing.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • For extra tang, add a splash of white vinegar.
  • Keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Thickens as it chills—thin with more buttermilk as needed.
