Elevate your homemade dressing game with this creamy, MSG-free ranch dressing that's packed with fresh, wholesome flavor. Made with a blend of tangy buttermilk, zesty Greek yogurt, and rich mayonnaise, this recipe gets its vibrant taste from a mix of fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and chives, paired with pantry spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of dried mustard. A splash of fresh lemon juice ties it all together, creating a smooth, versatile dressing perfect for salads, veggie platters, or dipping wings and chips. Ready in just 10 minutes, this preservative-free ranch ensures bold flavor without the additives, making it a healthier, tastier alternative to store-bought options.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley, dill, and chives to the bowl. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to thoroughly incorporate the spices.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and give the dressing one final stir to ensure everything is blended together.
Transfer the ranch dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Serve as a dip for vegetables, wings, or chips, or use as a fresh salad dressing. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
