Quick & Easy Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe

Wanna know the best homemade buttermilk ranch dressing recipe? This quick and easy recipe is a winner every single time! You’ll never hit the bottle again.

I think there are two camps of people: those who love ranch dressing (and eat it on everything that stands still) and those who just aren’t fans. Ok, make that three camps… because while I’ll eat it on a salad occasionally, that’s about as far as it goes. I don’t hate it. I don’t love it. But my family on the other hand? They LOVE it. Which is why on my quest to cut out processed foods this year, I had to figure out a homemade buttermilk ranch dressing recipe that they’d love as much as they do the bottled stuff. And I’ve got to admit – it was a huge challenge. However, after weeks of testing a bazillion different recipes, testing, tweaking & trying it all…. I finally nailed it. So today I’m sharing my recipe to hopefully keep those of you on the Whole Foods path to keep your ranch dressing lovers happy 🙂
