Homemade Ranch Dressing with Hidden Valley Packet

My favorite recipes combine simple methods and ingredients with amazing results. And this homemade ranch dressing is exactly that. With just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of your time, you can have thick, delicious ranch dressing chilling in your refrigerator ready to use however you can think. That’s less time than it would take just to find your car keys to go to get store-bought ranch.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dry seasoning

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, sour cream, mayo and the seasoning packet. Mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled, with crackers, pita chips, French fries or fresh veggies. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for the tastiest results. To slim down the recipe, use reduced fat variety.
  • Make sure you chill the dressing before serving so it has a chance to really develop for the best flavor.
  • If you don’t have or can’t find buttermilk, you can make your own buttermilk at home with whole milk and an acid like lemon juice or vinegar
  • Add a little extra garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, or dried herbs as flavor enhancers for extra zingy dressing.
  • Fresh herbs like fresh dill or fresh parsley are great additions to add depth of flavor to your dressing too.
