Creamy Homemade Ranch Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup buttermilk (or use regular milk for a milder flavor)
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional, for added tang)

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Incorporate the Herbs and Spices: Add the dried dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir until all the seasonings are fully incorporated.
Customize the Consistency: For a thinner dressing, gradually add additional buttermilk or milk, a little at a time, until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency.
Enhance the Flavor: If desired, add the lemon juice for a touch of brightness and acidity, and mix well.
Chill to Perfection: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together and develop.
Enjoy.
