We love homemade things around here. While I enjoy the ease and convenience of pre-made ingredients from time to time, nothing tastes as good as when you make it yourself.
Ranch dressing is an absolute staple in my house, and I imagine it is in other homes, too. I think it goes with everything and is the perfect way to add flavor to healthy salads and vegetables. I’ve made it super creamy with just the right amount of zest. This is not your average ranch dressing—this version is full of flavor!

Serving Suggestions
Ohhh, this is the fun part. Once you’ve got your homemade ranch prepared, trust me, you won’t have any trouble finding things to eat it with!
Of course, ranch dressing is perfect for salads as it’s an easy way to add flavor to a healthy bed of greens, and it makes the perfect dip for a veggie tray. But I love dipping these baked chicken wings and these crispy baked avocado fries in this tart ranch dressing. You can even find me dipping BLT sandwich sliders!
Can u use dried dill and parsley??
Yes, it may change the flavor though!
Hi
Is there a way I thicken this up, I like use thick ranch dressing when eating with buffalo wings.
Maybe try to use a bit more of the thicker ingredients such as sour cream or mayo, but it will alter the taste a little!
Hello
Chives is not something easy to get in my country Is there is any alternative ?!

Gracias, Gloria!
Where did you get the bottle you have the dressing in? I love it! I looked on your link above, but I could not find it. Thank you. I love your site.
Hi! I got it at a local antique store. Etsy has a variety as well!
I love a good ranch dressing! Thanks for sharing. Store bought doesn’t even compare.
