Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a small bowl.
  • Mix well with a spoon until smooth and combined.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Notes

  • Use your ranch dressing for fresh veggies, salads, sandwiches and wraps, or chicken wings!
  • This ranch will last in the fridge for 1-2 weeks if stored in an airtight container.
  • My mayo looks more yellow than store-bought because I make it myself with free-range eggs, which naturally have darker yolks. If you use store-bought mayo, the color may vary from mine.
  • This dip tastes even better if you let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving — it gives the flavors time to blend together.
  • If you like your dip a little thinner or want to use it on salads, just stir in an extra splash of milk until it’s the consistency you want. 
  • Want it with a little extra kick? Add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce.
  • Feel free to experiment with the herbs. Different dried herbs, such as chives or parsley, can be delicious additions. You can also try finely minced fresh herbs.
