This homemade ranch dressing blends creamy ingredients with a flavorful dry herb mix for a rich, tangy, and customizable condiment. Perfect as a salad dressing, dip, or sandwich spread, it’s easy to make and tastes even better after chilling.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings (dressing)

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups parsley flakes
  • ½ cup garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • ¼ cup granulated garlic
  • ¾ cup granulated onion
  • 2 tablespoons dill weed
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch mix

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine black pepper, parsley flakes, garlic salt, kosher salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and dill weed. Whisk thoroughly to create dry ranch mix.
  2. Transfer dry mix to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place for up to six months.
  3. To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of the dry ranch mix and stir until fully combined.
  5. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor and lighter texture.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more or less buttermilk depending on your preference.
  • Mix in fresh herbs for added brightness—use 3x the amount of dried herbs.
  • Stir or shake the dressing if it separates in the fridge.
  • The dry ranch mix can be doubled and stored for future use.
