Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

• ●120 ml (½ cup) mayonnaise (homemade, see recipe below, or quality store-bought)
• ●120 ml (½ cup) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• ●60 ml (¼ cup) buttermilk (more for thinner consistency)
• ●1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ●1 clove garlic, finely grated
• ●2 Tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
• ●1 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• ●1 Tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• ●½ tsp onion powder
• ●¼ tsp fine sea salt
• ●¼ tsp black pepper

Method

1. Whisk everything together in a bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust salt, lemon, and herbs.
2. For a thinner consistency (dressing), add more buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time. For a thicker consistency (dip), reduce the buttermilk.
3. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving — the flavors improve significantly after resting.
4. *Storage:** Refrigerator for 5-7 days.
