Homemade ranch dressing is easy to make – drizzle this American favourite over salad, potatoes or spicy buffalo wings.
Ingredients
- 100g/3½oz soured cream
- 40g/1½oz mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp buttermilk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 5g/⅛oz fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped
- 5g/⅛oz fresh dill, finely chopped
- 5g/⅛oz fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice, dependent on taste
- sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Method
Place the soured cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk in a bowl. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder and stir to combine.
Add the chopped fresh herbs and stir through along with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and taste, adding the remaining lemon juice if desired. Kept in the fridge in a sealed container, this dressing will stay fresh for 2–3 days.
Recipe tips
Don’t have buttermilk in the fridge? Switch it out for normal milk but ensure you add a teaspoon of white vinegar to your dressing once all the ingredients are combined to add to its iconic sour bite.
