Once I started making this homemade buttermilk ranch dressing, I never looked back. I whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs, buttermilk, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to create a dressing that\u2019s creamier, brighter, and fresher than anything from the grocery store. It comes together in just minutes and is just as delicious on salads as it is when dipping fresh veggies and chicken wings.<\/p>\n

I know you can buy bottled ranch dressing in any grocery store in the country. However, I do believe the very best dressings are homemade dressings. I have some incredible salad dressings here on the site, like my vibrant Catalina dressing recipe<\/a>, that seem fancy-ish but are actually very simple to make. Today I\u2019d like to share my version of an All-American classic\u2026 Buttermilk ranch dressing, of course! Known for having layers of flavors, you might be surprised to know it\u2019s only made up of a simple creamy base, dried herbs and spices. That\u2019s it! As for that base, the best dressing flavor comes from a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream and (obviously) buttermilk! It\u2019s easy to mix up a batch in mere minutes, and perfect to keep on hand for up to 2 weeks to use as a salad dressing (also, obviously) or thicker ranch dip.<\/p>\n

Sommer\u2019s Recipe Highlights<\/h2>\n

Zippy Buttermilk Flavor \u2013<\/strong> Like my easy Caesar dressing<\/a>, here I\u2019m blending mild mayonnaise with a generous amount of acidity and seasonings for a well-balanced taste. This ranch has more bite than \u201cregular\u201d ranch, thanks to the tart acid in the buttermilk!<\/p>\n

Better than Bottled \u2013 <\/strong>This homemade buttermilk dressing recipe has fewer ingredients than the store-bought stuff in a bottle. And while ranch isn\u2019t exactly a health food one way or the other, making it from scratch certainly is more wholesome<\/em>. Not to mention, you can whip up a whole batch of 1 1\/2 cups of dressing for a fraction of the cost of a store bought bottle.<\/p>\n

So Very Versatile \u2013 <\/strong>Yes, it\u2019s terrific on salads as a smooth, flowing dressing. But that\u2019s not all! I scale back a bit on the amount of buttermilk to make a thicker ranch dip for veggies, wings, and more. It can also be used to make other recipes that call for ranch dressing in the ingredients!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
