Creamy Basil Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
A delicious fresh-basil infused salad dressing with fresh herbs and tangy buttermilk. Great for not only salads, but drizzled on sandwiches and used as a dip! NOTE: This recipe calls for dry parsley, dill and onion. If using fresh, increase amount by 3x. (1 part dry = 3 parts fresh).
Servings (2-tablespoon) servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup buttermilk
- ¼-½ teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
- 1 small clove garlic chopped
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried chives
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ⅛ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves
Instructions
- Place everything except basil in a blender and process until smooth. Add basil and pulse until basil is broken up and dressing is pale green in color.
- Store in a glass jar or other airtight container in fridge. Can be used immediately, but for best results chill for at least an hour or so before serving.
Notes
- Think beyond the salad! This is great as a salad dressing, but also drizzled over sandwiches and wraps, pizza and flatbreads, and used as a dip.
- If using fresh herbs: Use 3 teaspoons fresh parsley, 3/4 teaspoon fresh dill, and 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh chives.
