In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the fresh parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to add a bright, tangy flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a thinner consistency (if using as a dressing), add an additional tablespoon or two of buttermilk.
Cover and refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dip with fresh vegetable sticks, chips, or use as a salad dressing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
