Hello!
I have been away, but thank you to everyone that reached out and for continuing to check out my blog and socials (see above for more Sustaining Sara)! Now that I have time to write and create again, I have really been inspired to share some of my favorite recipes that I have been enjoying lately. I have been so happy to see my friends and family respond well to the things I cook, so I hope you can enjoy them to!
To share recipes I have started a series called “Homemade is Better.” I have a few recipes I am SURE I need you all to know about, but I have a very personal reason for starting with my Garlicky Ranch Dressing, and that is because I have been meaning to give this recipe to my mother-in-law. We made this dip to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl and can attest that is it great with veggies, wings, or anything else you might want to dip. So this creamy and flavorful recipe is for Mary and anyone else that wants to make their own ranch dressing!
This ranch dressing can be made in less than 15 minutes and should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within 5 days after you make it.
-Sara, Garlicky Ranch Dressing Recipe
For this recipe you only need four ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 4 sprigs fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup mayo
On top of these ingredients, you will need a container to make and store your ranch in. I suggest making the dressing in the container you will store it in because then it will be super easy to throw it into the fridge! I reused a a mason jar that I previously bought honey in.
Now lets get started!
- Cut and mince herbs
- Start by mincing your garlic and putting it in your container, I personally achieved this by using a garlic press.
- Next cut the dill of the stem. I used kitchen sheers to quickly snip the herb from the stem.
- Add your buttermilk and mayo
- Stir!
- Idk what to tell you other than you just made ranch!
- It’s that easy!
I LOVE this ranch, however feel free to adjust this recipe to your preferences too! Three cloves of garlic makes for a very strongly flavored dressing, feel free to use more or less cloves! This ranch is also very drippy, use less buttermilk for a thicker dip.
I hope you enjoy this Ranch as much as I do and make sure to tag @sustaining_sara on Instagram and let me know in the comments below if you are excited for more “Homemade is Better!”
Love,
Sara
