Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and buttermilk will give your dressing the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. There are many variations of ranch dressing out there, so feel free to add your own personal touch.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
  • Don't overmix the dressing. Overmixing can cause the dressing to become thick and gloppy. Just mix it until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
