how to make ranch dressing

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, chopped

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Stir in the chopped fresh chives.
3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more buttermilk for a thinner dressing, or more mayonnaise for a thicker dressing.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

• For a smoother dressing, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after whisking.
• To make it tangier, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
• Store leftover ranch dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• A small immersion blender can be used for an extra smooth texture.
