This homemade ranch dressing is similar to the bottled one in taste but better as I control what goes in.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- ½ teaspoon dried chives
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried dill optional
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
- I served it mixed with a salad. You can serve it as a dip too with fried mushrooms, Fried Zucchini etc.
- Store the unused dip in an airtight container. I will recommend using it up the next day.
Notes
Use buttermilk in case you want to avoid sour cream.

I personally LOVE ranch dressing 'cos it's creamy and delicious. My husband on the other hand absolutely hates it 'cos it has buttermilk in it 🙁 So I rarely make it at home. Will have to make it sometime when he's travelling 🙂 🙂

Freda @ Aromatic essence says
Your homemade ranch dressing looks delicious, beats the store-bought stuff. For a low-calorie version, I prefer to use greek yoghurt in place of mayo and sour cream 🙂
ArchanaPotdar says
True but Greek yoghurt costs a bomb here so this is what I do.
Freda @ Aromatic essence says
Makes sense, even homemade hung curd would work 🙂

I have never tried making ranch dressing at home. Need to try it soon. Bookmarking
ArchanaPotdar says
Please share your pics and method too.
Seema Doraiswamy Sriram says
Oh wow, keeper recipe. now we are at a phase of subway style sandwiches at home... so this will be handy.
ArchanaPotdar says
I agree Seema was thinking of the subway sandwiches when I made it. Told the girls to get the bread they brought the subs so I made a salad with the dressing. No point in wasting a good sauce is there?
Vidya Narayan says
Nothing beats the taste and flavour of homemade salad dressings. I absolutely adore anything homemade and this just looks perfect with a nice creamy texture apt to coat a big bowl of veggies or salad leaves. With the summers at its peak, a cool bowl of salad is just what the season demands. Loved the recipe.
ArchanaPotdar says
The best part is it goes well as a dip and not to mention a sandwich sauce too. If there is any left that is.
Lathiya says
