Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

For the Homemade Mayo

• 1 large egg, at room temperature

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup neutral oil, such as sunflower, canola, or vegetable oil

For the Ranch

• 1 cup homemade mayonnaise

• ½ cup Homeland Creamery Whole Milk or Buttermilk

• ¼ cup sour cream, optional for extra richness

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill

• 1 teaspoon chopped chives

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Make the Homemade Mayo

Add the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt to a tall jar. Pour the oil over the ingredients.

Place an immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and blend without moving it for about 15 to 20 seconds. Once the mixture begins to thicken, slowly lift the blender upward until the mayonnaise is smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Make the Ranch

In a bowl, whisk together the homemade mayonnaise, Homeland Creamery Whole Milk, and sour cream until smooth.

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. For a thinner, more pourable dressing, add another splash of Homeland Creamery Whole Milk.

Cover and refrigerate the ranch for at least 30 minutes before serving to give the herbs and seasonings time to blend.

Delicious Ways to Enjoy It

Serve your homemade ranch with fresh garden salads, vegetable trays, chicken wings, tenders, fries, sandwiches, or delicious wraps.
