Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Combine Base Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth. This creates the creamy base for the ranch dressing.
Add Spices
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly throughout the mixture.
Add Acid
- Stir in lemon juice or vinegar. This adds a tangy flavor that mimics restaurant-style ranch. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chill the Ranch
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows flavors to meld and makes the ranch thicker.
Serve
- Pour the ranch into a serving bowl or store in an airtight container. Serve with salads, wings, fries, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs if possible for stronger flavor.
- Adjust buttermilk to reach desired consistency.
- Chill for longer for deeper flavor.
- Whisk thoroughly to avoid lumps.
- Taste before serving and adjust salt or acid if needed.
