"Bright, creamy, and herb-filled ranch dressing is a kitchen essential, and this homemade version from Gourmet is our go-to. Tangy buttermilk and mayonnaise combine to form the luscious base. If you care to go the extra step, you can even make the mayo from scratch. Fresh garlic grounds it with bite, while the fresh herbs (namely, parsley, dill, and chives) give it a burst of brightness."
"Easy to customize and forgiving to make, this homemade ranch dressing recipe elevates everyday meals with its fresh, vibrant flavor. Drizzle it over crisp greens, toss it with roasted vegetables, use it as a dip for wings or crudités, spread it on sandwiches for extra flavor, or use it in a million more ways even we haven't thought of yet."
"Do I have to use all the herbs?Fresh parsley, dill, and chives provide brightness and flecks of color, but they aren't the only herbs you can use. Dill is crucial for that quintessential ranch flavor, but you could add in or swap the others for basil, tarragon, savory, or thyme. You can also substitute dried herbs for the fresh ones, but note you'll want to let the dressing rest for a few hours so the dried herbs can rehydrate and release their flavor."
Bright, creamy ranch dressing uses tangy buttermilk and mayonnaise as a luscious base, with fresh garlic and a mix of herbs—parsley, dill, and chives—adding bite and brightness. Dill provides a signature ranch flavor while parsley and chives add color and freshness; other herbs like basil, tarragon, savory, or thyme can be substituted. Buttermilk can be replaced with plain whole-milk yogurt or milk acidified with distilled vinegar; Greek yogurt or sour cream yields a thicker dip. Dried herbs may substitute for fresh at reduced quantities but require resting time for rehydration. The dressing is highly versatile for salads, vegetables, dips, and sandwiches.
