Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
This Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing blends buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh garlic, green onions, dill, and a hint of cumin and chili powder for a tangy, herby flavor. The dressing is creamy and thickens if you add more sour cream, making it versatile for salads or as a vegetable dip. It’s designed to develop flavor after chilling, keeping well in the fridge for up to a week.

Ingredients
- ½ c. buttermilk
- ½ c. sour cream
- ¼ c. mayonnaise
- 2 tsp. lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 garlic minced, medium-sized cloves
- ¾ tsp. kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp. black pepper
- 2 green onions finely minced
- 2 tsp. dill minced fresh
- ⅛ tsp. cumin
- ⅛ tsp. chili powder
Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a small-ish bowl or a quart jar with lid, and whisk well. If you like a thicker dressing (for using as a vegetable dip, for example), add a bit more sour cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and chill until ready to serve. This can be prepared a day in advance, and actually helps to better marry the flavors. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve with fresh greens or as a dip for raw vegetables.
- We most often double this recipe. This works well for entertaining or for having enough to enjoy a few salads during the week.
