If you’ve never made ranch dressing from scratch before, let us let you in on a little secret: homemade ranch dressing could not be easier—and it tastes so much better than anything you’ll find in a bottle. Today, we’re showing you exactly how to whip it up using pantry staples in under 5 minutes.
Whether you use it as a salad dressing, a dip for fresh veggies, or pairing it with some pizza, this recipe won’t disappoint! Let’s get mixing!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/3 cup milk
That’s it! You probably already have most, if not all, of these handy in your kitchen.
Directions
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and whisk together thoroughly.
- Although you can use this dressing immediately, it is much more flavorful when it has been refrigerated for at least one hour before serving. Enjoy!
We prefer homemade ranch because it tastes fresher than bottled dressings. PLUS we know there’s no preservatives or mystery ingredients when we make it fresh. You can easily customize the recipe, adjusting your favorite herbs and spices to your taste!
Twin Tips
- Use full-fat sour cream and mayo for the creamiest texture
- Store your fresh ranch dressing in a sealed container or mason jar in the refrigerator
- Fresh herbs can be substituted if you have them—just double the quantity
Happy dipping!
