Here’s a simple homemade Ranch dressing recipe similar to what you’d find on MyRecipes and classic homemade versions — creamy, tangy, and great on salads, veggies, wings, or as a dip 🍃🥗: (My Aunty Recipes)
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½–¾ cup buttermilk (adjust for thickness)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
If you like a thinner dressing, add a bit more buttermilk; for thicker dip style, use less. (Michel Dumas)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. (Michel Dumas)
- Slowly whisk in the buttermilk until you reach your desired consistency. (Michel Dumas)
- Stir in parsley, chives, dill, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and pepper. (Michel Dumas)
- Cover and chill at least 30 minutes — this lets the flavors meld beautifully. (My Aunty Recipes)
- Give it a final stir before serving.
Tips
- No buttermilk? Use milk + 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute. (My Aunty Recipes)
- Adjust herbs: Fresh herbs boost flavor, but dried works fine too. (Michel Dumas)
- Storage: Refrigerate up to about 1 week in an airtight container. (My Aunty Recipes)
