The key to a great homemade Ranch Dressing is FRESH ingredients. I make this recipe all summer long. Even my non-ranch dressing loving husband enjoys it.

 

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar

1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, to taste, this is optional but it really lends a nice flavor

1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

 

Mix everything well. I mix it in a widemouth pint Mason jar.  Cover and refrigerate to mellow.
