Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put the mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk in a bowl and whisk until smooth with no lumps.

  2. 2

    Add the parsley, dill and chives.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder, then add the lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Stir until evenly mixed. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if it tastes flat.

  5. 5

    Cover and chill for at least 30 min so the dried seasonings soften and the herbs flavour the base. Overnight is better.

  6. 6

    Stir before serving and loosen with a splash of buttermilk if it has thickened too much. Keep refrigerated and use within 5 days.

About ranch dressing

A cold, creamy dressing built on buttermilk, mayonnaise, and dried herbs like dill and chives, poured over salad or used as a dip.

What cooks argue about

Cooks argue over fresh herbs, which taste brighter but fade fast, against dried herbs and buttermilk powder, which keep longer and are what the bottled versions use.
