FAQs

Can I make this ranch ahead of time?

Yes, it’s even better when it’s had time to chill and let the flavors meld. Make it a day or two ahead for maximum flavor.

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

You can use regular milk, but the buttermilk adds a tangy flavor that’s characteristic of ranch dressing. To mimic buttermilk, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk.

How can I make this ranch thicker?

To thicken the ranch, use less buttermilk or add an extra tablespoon of sour cream.

Can I use fresh herbs?

Yes, fresh herbs work wonderfully. Use about 1 tablespoon each of chopped fresh parsley and dill for the dried equivalent.

How long does this ranch last in the fridge?

It will last for up to a week in the fridge if stored properly in an airtight container.

Can I use this ranch for salads?

Absolutely! This ranch dressing is perfect as a salad dressing or a drizzle over roasted vegetables.

Can I make this ranch spicy?

Yes, add some hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or chili flakes to give it a spicy kick.

How can I adjust the flavor?

Feel free to adjust the seasoning—more garlic powder or onion powder will intensify those flavors, while adding more salt or pepper can adjust the overall balance.

Can I freeze this ranch dressing?

It’s not recommended to freeze ranch dressing as the texture may change when thawed. It’s best served fresh or within the fridge for a week.

How do I make this ranch more tangy?

Increase the amount of buttermilk or add a little extra lemon juice for more tang.
