Homemade Ranch Salad Dressing

Homemade Ranch Salad Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy mayonnaise such as Hellmann's
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
  • 2 Tbl. apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbl. thick sour cream such as Daisy
  • 1 1/2 tsp. very finely chopped onion
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. dried mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp. ground rosemary powder
  • 1/16 tsp. ground white pepper

Instructions

In medium bowl, add all ingredients and whisk well.

Chill for 2 hours or overnight to let mellow, meld, and the dried onions to soften.

Leave out at room temperature for 30 minutes before using for a more pourable consistency and best flavor. (*This is easiest served, however, ladled from a gravy boat.)

*If too thick for your liking, thin with milk or buttermilk adding SMALL amounts, (1 tsp.), at a time. Don't add too much or you will thin the flavor. It's actually quite delicious when it's thick, and sticks to your salad better and doesn't run all over the plate.
