This homemade ranch dressing is a creamy, tangy, and herb-infused sauce made from buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Enhanced with fresh parsley and a blend of onion, garlic, and dill powders, it provides a classic flavor perfect for salads, dips, and more.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 1 ½ cups

Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy base for the dressing.
  2. Add herbs and seasoning. Stir in the minced fresh parsley (or dried parsley), onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, and fine sea salt until evenly incorporated throughout the mixture.
  3. Chill the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully.
  4. Serve and enjoy. After chilling, give the dressing a good stir and serve it as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables, or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • For best flavor, let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more buttermilk until desired thickness is reached.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Use fresh herbs when possible to enhance the brightness of the dressing.
  • This dressing is great as a dip for fresh veggies, wings, or as a spread on sandwiches.
