2-Minute EASY DIY Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Your Family Will LOVE!

Start by discussing the importance of using fresh ingredients instead of store-bought powdered mixes.

Prepare a large batch of ranch dressing mix by combining: 1/3 cup dry parsley, 6 teaspoons dried dill, 4 teaspoons dried chives, 4 teaspoons onion powder, 5 teaspoons granulated garlic, and 1 teaspoon sea salt.

To make homemade mayonnaise, combine 1 whole egg, 1 teaspoon mustard, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/4 cups grape seed oil in a jar.

Use an immersion blender to blend the mayonnaise ingredients until thick.

To make buttermilk, pour 1/4 cup buttermilk into 1 quart of milk and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours.

To assemble the ranch dressing, combine 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup buttermilk, and 1/3 cup mayonnaise in a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of the ranch dressing mix and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the mixture.

Optionally, finely chop fresh chives and add them to the dressing for extra flavor.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Cover the dressing and refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow flavors to meld, though it can be enjoyed immediately.
