Mixing bowl (medium-sized)
Whisk or small hand mixer
Measuring spoons and cups
Storage jar or container, Airtight.
Fine grater or garlic press (optional)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried chives
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp lemon juice or vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar optional
Step 1: Mix the Base
Add mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk to a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy - it must be a little thick and pourable.
Step 2: Add the Herbs and Spices
Add dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Ensure that it is well distributed. And that much-liked ranch smell begins to fragrance this.
Step 3: Brighten It Up
Add 1 squeeze of lemon juice or vinegar and a pinch of sugar (optional). Stir once more to mix all the flavors.
Add and taste - perhaps a spoon or two more garlic, if you are fond of this kick, or a twist or two of dill, which is the favourite of all herby children.
Step 4: Refrigerate and Marinate.
This is not negotiable: wrap up your dressing and put it in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (it is better to leave it overnight).
The chilling enables the flavors to blend and magnify- make the good amazing.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
After cooling, stir briefly to serve. It can be poured over a fresh salad, drizzled over pizza, or it can be served as fry or wing dip.
And there you have re-created that Mazzio's Ranch Dressing Recipe-- that of your kitchen.
