Ingredients
Step by Step instructions
Finely mince parsley and chives. Mix buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream together in a medium bowl. Add lemon juice (or vinegar) chives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Dressing will thicken once chilled.
Expert tips
I highly recommend using fresh chives and parsley if possible. However, you can easily substitute with the dried version if needed.
This Buttermilk Ranch Recipe is the perfect medium consistency for drizzling over salads or to serve as a dip. If you prefer a thicker version, reduce buttermilk from ½ cup to ⅓ cup.
Use lemon, lime, or a light colored vinegar interchangeably. Vinegars that work well are white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar. I don't recommend balsamic for this recipe.
I can never seem to find full fat buttermilk anymore, so I used lowfat with excellent results!
Chill the dressing for an hour before serving. The flavors will combine and the dressing will thicken up.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
