Homemade Ranch Dressing
Description
Homemade Ranch Dressing brings together mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk as its creamy base, enriched with olive oil and white vinegar for acidity. Dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper create a classic ranch flavor profile, with an optional touch of sugar to round out the taste. The process involves whisking these ingredients until smooth and then refrigerating the mixture to develop the flavors fully.
The dressing's texture is rich but pourable, ideal for drizzling over greens or using as a creamy dip. The balance of tangy and herby notes makes it adaptable to various recipes, from salads to snacks.
After preparation, the dressing should be kept cold in an airtight container and consumed within five days for the best freshness. Unlike some dressings, it is not recommended to freeze this mixture to maintain its texture and flavor integrity.

- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice

- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions

- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (to give the flavors time to develop) before serving.
Notes
- Keep the dressing refrigerated in an airtight container and use within five days.
- Freezing this dressing is not advised as it may affect texture and flavor.
