Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing with equal parts base of mayo, sour cream, and buttermilk mixed with dried herbs.

This Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is a creamy, flavorful homemade dressing ideal for salads, vegetable dips, or as a condiment. Made with a base of mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk, it’s enriched with dried herbs like chives, parsley, and dill for a fresh, herby flavor, while garlic and onion powders add savory depth. After whisking together and refrigerating for at least an hour to let the flavors meld, this dressing delivers a rich, homemade taste that easily surpasses store-bought options.
