Notes

  • Storage: This dressing will keep in your refrigerator for up to a week, depending on the use-by dates of your yogurt, buttermilk, and mayo. Shake it well before serving.
  • Garlic ranch dressing: Use fresh garlic (1 clove garlic, minced) instead of garlic powder. Flavor will intensify over time.
  • Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. You can add more salt and pepper, use dried herbs instead of fresh, add extra dill if you like, and so on.
