Notes

  • Use Fresh Herbs: If you can, try using fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Fresh dill, parsley, and chives will give the dressing a vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust the Thickness: If you like a thinner dressing, add a little milk or buttermilk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Let It Chill: For the best flavor, let your ranch dressing sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  • Experiment with Spices: Feel free to experiment with spices to make the dressing your own! A dash of cayenne pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice can add an extra zing.
