Easy homemade Ranch Dressing made with buttermilk, mayo, Greek yogurt and fresh or dried herbs. Like most things, it definitely tastes better from scratch!
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), vinegar and seasonings.
Whisk in the buttermilk until desired consistency for dipping or dressing.
For best flavor, refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes
Flavor Variations:
Add tang: Squeeze a little citrus (orange, lemon, or lime) for extra tangy flavor.
Bacon: Add 1/4 cup of bacon crumbles.
Cheese: Add 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Cilantro Ranch Dressing: Add 1/2 bunch of cilantro and 1 tomatillo and add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Jalapeño Ranch Dressing: add 1 jalapeño pepper (seeds removed for milder spice) and blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth.
No buttermilk? Either make your own, or if you prefer ranch without buttermilk, leave out the buttermilk and add a little more mayo or yogurt, with a splash of milk.
Dairy-free/Vegan Ranch Dressing: Substitute vegan mayo in place of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt and substitute almond milk (mixed with about 1 tsp of lemon juice) in place of buttermilk.
