STORAGE TIPS: This easy buttermilk dressing recipe will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Simply give it a stir (or a shake) before using it.

Ranch dressing is such a classic. It’s everyone’s favorite, right? On tables at weddings: ranch and Italian. Served on the side of chicken tenders: ranch. Ever dip your French fries in ranch?

Since buttermilk is essential to a good ranch dressing, you’ll still see plenty of that in the recipe. Most of the buttermilk sold in stores is made with cultured low fat milk. Even though “butter” milk sounds rich, it’s actually quite a bit lower in fat and calories than regular whole milk.

In addition to the buttermilk, I add a little plain nonfat Greek yogurt and just a bit of mayonnaise which gives the dressing a really creamy rich taste without tons of added calories.

Of course, there are plenty of herbs (both fresh and dried) and seasonings, all of which work together to make the ranch dressing you know and love! I’ve included two variations for you so all the bases are covered.

How To Make Homemade Ranch Dressing

By the way, if you haven’t tried my popular homemade dill vegetable dip, I’d encourage you to give that a try, too. It’s a healthier version like the ranch dressing, made with Greek yogurt and mayo. The vegetable dip is a staple at my house.

I’ll get you started here on the path to making your homemade dressing but as always, look for the printable recipe card near the end of the post. It has complete instructions with measurements and nutrition information. What You’ll Need

If you’re using fresh parsley and chives, rinse them thoroughly and shake off any excess water. Chop them very finely. If you’re using dried herbs, you can skip this step.

Make the dressing in a small jar with a wide opening and a tight lid. Recycled jars are just fine as long as they are sparkling clean. Measure out all the ingredients and put them into the jar.

Put the lid on the jar and shake it vigorously. If you find that the dressing isn’t coming together as smoothly as you’d like, remove the lid and use a small whisk or fork to thoroughly blend it.

That’s it! Cover and refrigerate the dressing until you’re ready to use it. It will keep for a week or so in the refrigerator.

While ranch is a versatile dressing, I feel it is best suited to a traditional tossed salad. Here are my recommendations for a perfect salad dressed with ranch. This isn’t an exhaustive list but it should get the wheels turning a bit.

You’ll notice fruit isn’t on the list because I don’t think it goes well with the more savory profile of ranch dressing. For salads with fruit, try white wine vinaigrette, lemon basil vinaigrette dressing, apricot vinaigrette (love this one!), or raspberry vinaigrette.

So many good choices for greens! Baby kale, baby spinach, iceberg lettuce, romaine, leaf lettuce (red or green), shredded cabbage, or mixed greens work well. Fresh herbs are great in this mix too, such as fresh dill, cilantro, mint, and parsley. I love a combination of greens in my salads.

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

My philosophy with vegetables is the more the better! Tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, jicama, roasted beets, fresh corn, radishes, bell peppers, or peas are all terrific choices.

We recommend choosing one of the following to make your salad filling enough to be a main course: Grilled chicken breast (sliced), grilled steak slices, canned beans (rinsed and drained), hard boiled egg, diced ham, tuna, flaked salmon, or shrimp. Crispy tofu is great, too.

Buttermilk

Of course you can load up your salad, but we recommend sticking to one or two of these items to let their flavors shine. Grated cheese, bacon crumbles, homemade croutons, sunflower seeds or pepitas, sliced avocado, toasted nuts. This savory granola is an unusual addition to salads and you won’t believe how good it is.

The Best Skinny Ranch

Many commercial ranch dressings are high in fat and sodium. If you look at the ingredients of a popular brand, the first ingredient is vegetable oil, followed by water, sugar, and salt. It contains MSG and other artificial added ingredients. You’ll find 120 calories, 13 grams of fat, and 260 mg salt in every serving. So, not exactly healthy. Keep reading …

Why not make your own with wholesome ingredients? It’s much healthier and tastes better. The recipe below has only 43 calories per serving, 3 grams of fat and much less sodium. It’s real food compared to the scientifically engineered copycat that bottled ranch dressing is.

Be sure to check out the variations on the recipe card. One thing you can do is replace the fresh herbs with dried and the other variation uses fresh garlic for a garlic buttermilk ranch dressing.
