Ranch Dressing is one of the most popular salad dressing that you will find as a staple condiment across many home kitchens and restaurants. Its creamy and tangy flavor made it perfect for elevating the flavors of salads, wraps and sandwiches when used as a dressing. Many people commonly use it as a dip for chicken wings, vegetables, chips, and even pizza. This ranch dressing recipe was especially delicious in my homemade burritos.
Like most people, I always bought my condiments from the store,. With ranch dressing, it was no exception. It never crossed my mind on how it was made. I would simply buy it. I randomly came across someone making ranch dressing on social media and I was surprised that I could make it at home with regular everyday ingredients. Now whenever I need it, I can just whip up a batch and now you can too!

8. Dried Chives

If you have any fresh herbs on hand, use it for maximum flavor. I rarely have fresh herbs on hand because most times I do not use them quick enough before they go to waste. I prefer dried herbs for more convenience.
HOW TO MAKE RANCH DRESSING

2. Add in your remaining ingredients and whisk well.
3. You can serve your dressing immediately or chill for a couple of hours for the best flavor.
DO I NEED MAYO FOR RANCH DRESSING?
Most popular ranch dressings are made with mayo, but you can swap it out if you are not a fan of mayo. A couple of suitable alternatives are Greek yogurt and sour cream. You can use either of the two as your base or equal parts of each. I haven’t tried either of these on their own, so I cannot give any insight into how it would taste.
HOW TO STORE IT
This will last in your fridge for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
