Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Combine the Base
- Place mayonnaise and sour cream in a medium bowl. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. This forms the rich base of your Chick Fil A Ranch Recipe.
Add the Buttermilk
- Pour in the buttermilk slowly. Whisk continuously until fully blended. The buttermilk thins the sauce and gives it a light tangy flavor.
Mix in the Herbs
- Add dried parsley and dried dill. Stir well to distribute evenly. These herbs give the ranch its classic fresh taste and color.
Add the Seasonings
- Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Whisk again until everything blends smoothly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add Lemon Juice
- Stir in fresh lemon juice. This small step brightens the flavor and balances richness. Mix until fully combined.
Chill Before Serving
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows flavors to blend beautifully. The texture also thickens slightly.
Stir and Serve
- Before serving, stir the ranch gently. Pour into a small bowl or jar. Enjoy with your favorite snacks or meals.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for lighter version.
- Add a pinch of paprika for subtle smoky flavor.
- Stir in chopped fresh chives for extra freshness.
- Make it spicy by adding cayenne pepper.
- Thin with more buttermilk for salad dressing consistency.
- Store in a glass jar for best freshness.
