Homemade Ranch Dressing

This homemade ranch dressing is delicious and easy to make. Utilizing mostly dried herbs, with the addition of fresh chives, you can whip up a batch last minute. A creamy, tangy buttermilk ranch.

I love ranch. Like so much. I dip pizza in it, I dip french fries in it. There may be nothing that I wouldn't dip in ranch, which is repelling if you ask my children.

Making your own ranch at home is actually super easy. You only need a few ingredients. The base of this buttermilk ranch is, you guessed it, buttermilk, sour cream and mayonnaise.

Add in some dried herbs and some fresh chives and you have a really delicious ranch dressing. I think this ranch tastes much better after it's had a chance to chill in the fridge, however, I've used it last minute and it's also good.

Use it for my favorite BLT wedge salad, buffalo wings (or this buffalo chicken salad), or this cast iron skillet pizza. Now I'm hungry.
