Ranch Dressing
Description
Ranch Dressing blends sour cream and mayonnaise with buttermilk or milk to create a smooth, creamy base. Apple cider vinegar adds mild acidity, while dried dill and parsley contribute herbal notes. Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper round out the flavor profile for a familiar ranch taste without fresh herbs.
The dressing is whisked together and can be served immediately or stored chilled for up to a week. Using buttermilk lends a natural tang, but adding extra vinegar when using milk adjusts the sharpness according to taste.
This homemade ranch is suitable as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables or chips, or a sauce for various dishes. Storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator maintains freshness and flavor.
