Creamy Kefir Ranch Dressing
Description
This dressing blends equal parts milk kefir and mayonnaise, providing a creamy and tangy base. Dried parsley, dill, and chives add classic ranch herb flavors, while garlic and onion powders offer savory notes. Salt and ground black pepper season the dressing. After mixing, chilling the dressing for 30 minutes allows the flavors to integrate and mellow.
The result is a slightly tart, creamy dressing with herb accents that can complement green salads, vegetable dips, or other dishes benefiting from a ranch-style dressing. Using dried herbs makes it shelf-stable and convenient, though fresh herbs can be substituted if on hand.
The dressing should be kept refrigerated and used within four days, maintaining quality and freshness.
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk kefir 120 mL
- ½ cup mayonnaise 120 g
- ½ tsp parsley dried
- ½ tsp dill dried
- ½ tsp chives dried
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl until evenly mixed. Cover and let flavors blend in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Use a mason jar or similar container for easy mixing and storage.
- Fresh herbs can replace dried if available, but dried herbs provide consistent flavor and convenience.
