Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Add the dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Lemon Juice

    Pour in the lemon juice and mix thoroughly. This adds a bright flavor that balances the creaminess of the ranch.

  4. 4

    Adjust Consistency and Flavor

    Taste the ranch dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the dressing is too thick, add a little more buttermilk until the desired consistency is reached.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a dip or dressing with your favorite dishes.
