If you prefer a thinner dressing, add milk or extra buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time later until you reach desired consistency (see Optional Adjustments).

Add Herbs & Aromatics

Finely chop parsley, chives, and dill. Mince 1 garlic clove finely or grate it. Fold the chopped herbs and minced garlic into the creamy base, stirring until evenly distributed.

Seasoning & Balance

Add 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill (optional), and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice to the mixture. Stir well and taste.

If the dressing tastes too sharp or acidic, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey to balance. To adjust thickness, stir in additional milk or buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired pourable consistency is reached.

Rest & Serve

For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the ranch sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the herbs and seasonings to meld. Stir again before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If separation occurs, stir or whisk briefly to recombine.
