Homemade Ranch Dressing Recipe

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: milk + vinegar

💰Cheaper: milk

Milk with vinegar mimics buttermilk's tang.

Start by mincing 1 medium garlic clove using a garlic press.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh chives and add to the mixing bowl.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh dill and add to the mixing bowl.

Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon into the mixing bowl to create a buttermilk flavor.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of whole milk (or buttermilk if using).

Whisk the mayonnaise and milk together until smooth.

Gradually drizzle in the lemon juice while whisking to combine.

Season the mixture with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Add 1-2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce and 3-4 drops of Tabasco sauce to the mixture.

Whisk everything together until well combined and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
