Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Add the chopped parsley, dill, and chives to the bowl, stirring well to incorporate the fresh herbs.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Slowly pour in the buttermilk, whisking continuously, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker dressing, use less buttermilk; for a thinner dressing, add a bit more, one tablespoon at a time.

Stir in the white vinegar to add tanginess and brighten the flavors.

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a dash of pepper to suit your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the ranch dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
