Buttermilk Ranch Dressing from Scratch | Quick & Flavorful

Start by combining 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayonnaise in a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon minced chives to the mixture.

Next, add 1 tablespoon minced dill for a fresh aromatic flavor.

Add 1/4 cup minced Italian flat-leaf parsley to the bowl.

Grate 1 clove of garlic finely using a microplane or box grater and add it to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the dressing for extra tang.

Whisk the mixture until combined. You can also use a blender or food processor for a smoother texture.

Gradually add 1/2 cup buttermilk to the mixture, adjusting the amount based on your desired thickness.

Season the dressing with hickory smoked salt and black pepper to taste.

Whisk for about 30 seconds to ensure the salt is dissolved and the flavors are well combined.

Taste the dressing to check the flavor and adjust seasoning if necessary.
