Homemade Ranch Dressing with Buttermilk and Sour Cream Recipe

Delicious homemade buttermilk and sour cream ranch dressing. A staple for salads as well as for grilled chicken, veggie dip, steak, potato salad, and more. This simple recipe made in minutes, and it's better than the store-bought version!

I think we all agree that everything is better with ranch dressing! It has become such a staple not only for salads but also for chicken, pizza, mashed potatoes, pork chops, etc. I love buttermilk ranch dressing, and now I want to share with you my classic recipe.

You can buy ranch dressings from the store. But the homemade ranch dressing made from scratch is the best! And you might be surprised to find that this recipe is without msg, and you probably already have most of the ingredients.

Ranch Dressing Ingredients

We know there are so many varieties out there. But my recipe calls for:

• 1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion flour
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice

You probably have dried chives, parsley, and dill weed in the spice rack, so check there before going to the store. And don't forget to grab the garlic salt (with chopped parsley) – it's my favorite spice and one I use in so many dishes.

Instruction

Making ranch dressing from scratch is simple and easy and takes about 5 minutes. You don't have to spend time setting up in the fridge to do it.

1. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk by whisking together in a large bowl until smooth.
2. Once smooth, add chives, parsley, dill, salt, garlic, onion powder, and pepper, continue to whisk until smooth. Add lemon juice and mix until smooth. Make sure to taste the ranch. Add more garlic salt if needed.
3. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Buttermilk ranch dressing can last in the fridge for a few weeks. Instead, they should be covered with a sealed container or jar and placed in the refrigerator. Freezing not recommended.
