Homemade Ranch Dressing

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
Ranch is more than a salad dressing; it's practically an American food group. Originated on a California ranch to encourage guests to eat their veggies, the secret lies in the harmony between tangy buttermilk (or sour cream) and fresh herbs like dill and parsley. Creamy, garlicky, and versatile—it's no wonder we dip everything from pizza to fries in it.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk (sour cream, buttermilk)
⚠️ Egg (mayonnaise)

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the fresh herbs (dill, parsley) as finely as possible.

Tip: Use a sharp knife and cut cleanly. crushing herbs bruises them, leaving their flavor on the cutting board and turning them dark.
2 ✓

In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk until smooth.

Tip: Mayo adds body, while sour cream and buttermilk provide the signature tang.
3 ✓

Fold in the fresh herbs and the dried spices (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper).

Tip: Dried garlic and onion powder work better than fresh here because they don't water down the sauce and offer a more concentrated savory punch.
4 ✓

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tip: This time allows the dried spices to rehydrate and the flavors to bloom.

Recipe FAQ

No buttermilk?
Mix 1/4 cup of milk with a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes. It will curdle slightly and works as a perfect substitute.
Shelf life?
Because of the fresh herbs, it's best consumed within 3-4 days.
