This easy Cheesecake Factory Ranch Dressing Recipe blends mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, dill, parsley, and lemon juice.
Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Garlic press (optional)
- Airtight jar or container
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional:
- 1 small clove fresh garlic very finely minced (for extra punch)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Thin It Out
- Slowly whisk in buttermilk until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency. Cheesecake Factory ranch is creamy but pourable.
Step 3: Add Flavor
- Whisk in lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Add Fresh Herbs
- Stir in chopped parsley and dill. If using fresh garlic, add it now.
Step 5: Chill
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step matters. The flavors need time to settle and blend.
- Give it a final stir before serving.
