This homemade ranch dressing can be made thick as a dip, thin as a dressing, and uses sour cream instead of mayo as a base. It has a lot of flavor from the fresh herbs and a kick from cayenne pepper.
approximately 1/4 cup buttermilk to thin dressing outoptional
Instructions
Make paste out of the garlic by mashing the clove with the side of a large knife, adding salt on top, and using a fork to mash together until a past-like consistency. Add to medium-sized bowl.
Add sour cream, herbs, pepper, vinegar, oil, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Mix.
At this point, you will have a thick ranch dip. To make a thinner dressing, add buttermilk a little at a time, stirring constantly, until you have reached the desired thickness.
Notes
If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular whole milk or a mixture of whole milk and plain yogurt as a substitution.
