Homemade Ranch Dressing

Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (more if needed for consistency)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tablespoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (or 1/2 tablespoon dried)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Mix Base Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
2. Add Herbs and Seasonings:
   • Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Adjust Consistency:
   • If the dressing is too thick, add more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Refrigerate:
   • Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
   • Use as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables, or a topping for sandwiches and wraps.

Tips:

• Custom Flavors: Adjust the herbs and spices to your liking, adding more garlic or fresh herbs for a more robust flavor.
• Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir well before each use.
• Vegan Option: Use vegan mayonnaise and substitute the sour cream and buttermilk with plant-based alternatives.
