Description

A rich, creamy ranch dressing made from pantry staples like black pepper, garlic salt, dill weed, and creamy ingredients like mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream, perfect for salads, dips, and sandwiches.


Ingredients

¼ cup black pepper

1 1/2 cups parsley flakes

½ cup garlic salt

2 tablespoons kosher salt

¼ cup granulated garlic

3/4 cup granulated onion

2 tablespoons dill weed

2 cups mayonnaise

2 cups buttermilk

1 1/2 cups sour cream

1 teaspoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine black pepper, parsley flakes, garlic salt, kosher salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and dill weed. Mix thoroughly.
  2. To make the dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the dry mix with mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. After chilling, serve the ranch dressing over salads, as a dip, or as a spread for sandwiches.

Notes

Chill the dressing for at least 2 hours for best flavor.

Add cayenne pepper for a spicier version.

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter dressing.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Shake or stir well before each use as separation may occur.
