EASY HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

by lena

Facebook0Tweet0Pin174Yummly2

My easy homemade ranch dressing from scratch is the perfect way to dress a salad, or be a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks, veggies or wings.

EASY HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

Making your own sauces and dressings is always the best route. They taste so much better, and you can adjust the herbs, spices, and ingredients exactly to your taste buds’ preferences.

This ranch dressing goes perfect with my EXTRA CRISPY AIR FRYER WINGS. Dip the wings or the veggies to get that perfect creamy balance.

Dip some fresh cut up veggies into this jar of goodness.

VEGGIES WITH HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

This easy homemade ranch dressing is no different. It’s totally delicious and customize-able at the same time. Grab your favorite herb, mine is dill and a few other ingredients and the dressing is done in minutes. If you love garlic as much as I do, try adding a few extra cloves like I did. The flavor will get more intense the longer it sits.

Everything simply goes in a mason jar and gets blended up with a immersion blender (and if you know me, this is my favorite kind of recipe!). You can also use a small food processor, but I prefer my immersion blender and a mason jar. This way I only have to clean one thing and I can store it right in the jar too after. Easy clean up is always a plus in my book.

I bet these would also be so good with some saucy hot wings. You can sub the dressing in this cobb salad I made here and it would be fantastic with that too. You can grab the homemade Whole30 mayo recipe on this post as well if you want to try it out.

I had so much fun creating this simple ranch dressing on Instagram Live last night. If you are ever on Instagram, give me a follow for fun cooking episodes like that. It’s fun to test out the recipe and get your feedback

      Thank you Inna. You can add a little more mayo to it to make it thicker or add less buttermilk.

    Such a good recipe and super easy! Let’s just say my “taste test” involves more than a couple of table spoons. Love that I know exactly what’s it in. Super excited to use it as dio, dressings, and whatever else!
