  • Author: amelia
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 cup (8 servings) 1x

Description

Creamy, tangy, and packed with herbs, this homemade ranch dressing tastes far better than anything store-bought. Whip it up in minutes and enjoy it as a dip, salad dressing, or sandwich spread!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

  • 12 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

  • 1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/4 tsp dried dill

  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  • Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk until smooth.

  • Add Flavor: Stir in lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  • Chill: For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Thinner dressing? Add more milk 1 tsp at a time until pourable.

  • No sour cream? Use plain Greek yogurt for a tangy, protein-packed twist.

  • Fresh herbs? Use 1 tsp of fresh dill and 1 tbsp each fresh parsley and chives if available.

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
