Notes
Homemade ranch dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days! I like to store mine in mason jars, but you can store it in any airtight container. I would recommend using glass though!
You can easily turn this recipe into a homemade buttermilk ranch dressing! Simply use buttermilk in place of the regular milk. If like your dressing to have a tangy taste but you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can add a 1/2 tsp of white vinegar or apple cider vinegar!
If you like your dressing to be slightly thicker, add 1-2 tbsps of extra sour cream and a little more seasoning!
I like to spruce my dressing up sometimes, I'll add fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, to create a light fresh flavor. Or from fresh garlic and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, to create unqine flavor with a slight bit! You can also add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to make your own spicy ranch dressing!
