Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and give the mixture a final whisk until fully combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a pinch more salt or an extra squeeze of lemon juice based on your preference.
Transfer the ranch dressing to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
