How do you make homemade ranch dressing?
Homemade Ranch Dressing combines ingredients such as Mayonnaise, Sour Cream, Lemon Juice, Fresh Dill, Fresh Chives, Fresh Parsley, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder.
Once you have these ingredients combined, you will slowly add in buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency that you prefer. Start with 1/4 cup, then slowly add in additional until it reaches the correct consistency that you prefer.
