Ranch dressing is a popular sauce that is served in restaurants and loved by many. It goes well with salads, chicken wings, and vegetables. You can make it at home using a mix of mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, herbs, and spices. The key is to balance the ingredients to get the right taste. You can use this dressing in various ways, and we’ll explore some creative ideas.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the Hidden Valley Ranch mix, dill weed, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to meld (ideally, a few hours or overnight).

Tips:
- Use Fresh Herbs: Substitute the dried herbs with a larger amount of finely chopped fresh herbs for a brighter flavour
