Homemade Ranch Dressing
Description
The recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing involves combining mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk as the creamy base. Flavorful ingredients such as Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce add subtle complexity. Fresh or dried herbs—parsley, dill, oregano, and basil—contribute the classic herbaceous notes alongside minced garlic and green onions for sharpness. The dressing is well mixed and then chilled for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
The texture is smooth and rich, ideal for salads or as a dip for vegetables and snacks. Using fresh herbs is recommended for brighter flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted in lesser amounts due to their concentrated taste. The dressing keeps fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it suitable for preparing ahead.
