Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of fresh dill (chopped), 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the chopped fresh dill to the bowl. If you prefer a stronger dill flavor, feel free to add a bit more according to your taste.
- Next, sprinkle in the garlic powder. This will add a nice depth of flavor to your dressing. Whisk the mixture again until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each, then adjust according to your preference. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it out once it’s in!
- After seasoning, give the dressing one final whisk to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Transfer the buttermilk dill ranch dressing to an airtight container or a jar with a lid. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the dressing a good stir or shake, as some separation may occur while it sits. Enjoy your homemade buttermilk dill ranch dressing as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce!
Tips
- Use fresh dill for the most vibrant flavor - dried herbs just can't compare!
- For extra creaminess, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- If the dressing is too thick, thin it with a little extra buttermilk.
- Experiment with additional herbs like chives or parsley for unique variations.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings - everyone's palate is different!
- Store in an airtight container and consume within 7 days for maximum freshness.
