Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing
Our homemade stick blender Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing takes 5 minutes to prepare and has a fresh taste unmatched with store-bought dressings Made right in a jar, just blend it, stir in the fresh herbs, pop the lid on the jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Servings: 1 -1/2 cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and dried dill to a wide-mouth Mason jar. Blend with an immersion blender using an up-and-down motion until smooth, about 30 seconds. You can also whisk it by hand.
- Stir in the fresh dill and fresh chives. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Cover the jar with its lid and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Notes
Chill before serving. You can use the dressing right after making it, but the flavor deepens after a few hours in the fridge as the herbs and garlic meld together.
Storage. Keep the dressing in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Separation is normal. Give it a good shake or stir before using. Natural separation happens as it sits.
Adjust consistency. If it thickens in the fridge, whisk in a splash of buttermilk until it reaches your preferred texture.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Dried herbs can work in a pinch, but fresh dill, parsley, and chives give the dressing a brighter, cleaner taste.
