Homemade ranch

Introduction

Homemade ranch dressing is a simple and delicious alternative to store-bought options, made with basic ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. With a creamy base of sour cream, mayonnaise, and flavorful herbs and spices, this ranch dressing is perfect for salads, as a dip for veggies, or even as a sauce for your favorite dishes. The best part is you can customize it to your liking and it tastes fresher and more vibrant than any bottled version.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 3/4 teaspoon parsley (dried or fresh)

Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
2. Add Seasonings: Add the black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the ranch dressing and adjust the seasonings if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a bit more buttermilk.
4. Chill: For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion

This homemade ranch dressing is easy to make and packed with flavor. It can be prepared ahead of time, and in fact, the taste improves as it sits in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld together. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve it as a salad dressing, veggie dip, or sandwich spread. Once you try this fresh, homemade version, you might never go back to store-bought ranch dressing again!
