- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: About 2 cups
- Category: Dressing
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, ranch dip mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to a mixing bowl
- Whisk until smooth and creamy
- Taste and adjust. Add lemon juice for brightness, more buttermilk for a thinner dressing, or a little more sour cream for a thicker dip-style texture
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving
- Stir before serving and enjoy on salads, fries, veggies, wraps, or chicken
Notes
- Use the Hidden Valley Ranch dip packet if possible. It gives the dressing a thicker, creamier texture than a regular ranch dressing packet
- For a thinner salad dressing, add an extra splash of buttermilk after chilling
- For a thicker dipping sauce, reduce the buttermilk slightly or let the ranch chill longer
- This is a copycat-style recipe inspired by Outback ranch, not the official Outback Steakhouse recipe
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
