This Post: Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing – Once Upon a Chef

This buttermilk ranch dressing is cool, creamy, garlicky and delicious over a green salad. You can also serve it as a dip for crudités or chips.

Gourmet is probably not the word that comes to mind when you think of ranch dressing, but homemade is nothing like the mass-produced bottled stuff on the grocery store shelves. This buttermilk version is my favorite — it’s cool, creamy, tangy, garlicky and, honestly, good enough to eat straight with a spoon. Try it over a crisp green salad or as a dip for crudités, potato chips, or chicken wings.

To make it, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.

And whisk to blend.

That’s all there is to it. Enjoy!

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

This buttermilk ranch dressing is cool, creamy, garlicky and delicious over a green salad. You can also serve it as a dip for crudités or chips.

Ingredients

• ½ cup

  RED : Sugar | Rooftop Bar & Lounge | EAST Miami

  sour cream

• ½ cup

  buttermilk

• ¼ cup

  mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann’s or Duke’s

• 2

  garlic cloves, minced (see note)

• 1 scant teaspoon

  salt

• ¼ teaspoon

  pepper

• 1½ teaspoons

  dried dill

• ¼ cup

  finely chopped fresh chives

• 2 teaspoons

  fresh lemon juice

• RED : Foods To Eat With Braces | Spain Orthodontics

  Few dashes

  Tabasco sauce, optional

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill until ready to serve.
2. Note: The dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. The garlic flavor gets stronger the longer it sits, so you might want to cut back if you’re planning on making it in advance. The dressing will thicken up to more of a dip consistency as it chills.
