This homemade ranch skips the packet mix in favor of fresh garlic, buttermilk, and chopped herbs for a tangy, creamy dressing. It thickens nicely in the fridge, making it ideal for salads, dipping vegetables, or drizzling over wings. A quick whisk is all it takes before chilling to let the flavors meld.

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Method
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream until smooth.
-
Add the minced garlic, chives, parsley, dried dill, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined.
-
Stir in the lemon juice and whisk again until the dressing is smooth and uniform in color.
-
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
