Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Herbs and Seasonings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine Creamy Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth and evenly blended. This forms the creamy foundation of your ranch dressing.
- Add Herbs and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Then add kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well to distribute all the flavors evenly throughout the dressing.
- Refrigerate and Store: Transfer the dressing to a covered container and refrigerate. Let it chill for a bit to allow the flavors to meld together. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week, perfect for salads, dips, and dressings.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add a little more buttermilk gradually until your desired thickness is reached.
- Adjust the garlic and herbs to your taste preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- The dressing can be used immediately but tastes best after chilling for a few hours.
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
