Fall in love with this simple recipe to make creamy ranch dressing from scratch! Made with readily available ingredients like dried herbs, it tastes amazing and yields about 1 cup of dressing for easy portion adjustments.

Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together with a whisk
  2. Taste. Here is where you would add up to 2 more teaspoons of lemon juice if you would like more zing, and/or more pepper to kick it up a notch, or if you think it is “missing something” try a little more salt.
  3. This dressing tastes great immediately, and even better after resting for about 10 minutes. Any leftovers can be kept in a jar or other food-safe container for 5 to 7 days. I do not recommend freezing it.

Notes

  1. Equal Parts Greek Yogurt (just note that this can actually be a little looser than sour cream so cut back on the cream/milk)
  2. Start with ¼ cup of heavy cream, then add in a tablespoon at a time until up to another ¼ cup of heavy cream if you desire a thinner, more drizzly consistency.
  3. Milk (Note: start with 2 tablespoons vs ¼ cup)
  4. Equal Parts White Vinegar
  5. 1 ½ teaspoons fresh dill
  6. 1 ½ teaspoons fresh parsley
  7. 1 ½ teaspoons fresh chives
  8. Equal Parts Black Pepper
