We shared how to easily make your own butter (including organic butter if you use organic cream) and the joy of having wonderful, leftover fresh buttermilk to use and work with in your cooking and recipes! Not only do we use the buttermilk with our homemade pancake and waffle mix, but we also love to turn this fresh buttermilk into the most amazing Homemade Buttermilk Ranch that is creamy, luscious, fresh and a nice gourmet treat for any dipping or salad purposes! It is our favorite by FAR! We prefer this buttermilk ranch dressing over any other buttermilk ranch dressing that exists 🙂
You’ll be surprised at how easy easy it is to make and a very rewarding treat to enjoy!
Let’s get started on making Homemade Buttermilk Ranch with this simple recipe!
First, here is the ingredient round-up:
- 1 cup of mayo (you can use more mayo if you want a thicker dressing).
- 3/4 cup of buttermilk
- 2 tbsp. of minced fresh finely minced green onion (or chives)
- 1/8 tsp. of celery seed
- 1/2 tsp. of Summer Savory dried herb (we use Spice Islands that you can see here on Amazon, but they can be purchased most anywhere)
- 1/4 garlic salt
- Few dashes of pepper
- Few dashes of paprika
Step #1 – Place all ingredients in a jar:
- Just take the list of above ingredients and place them in a jar in the order listed!
Step #2 – Shake, Rattle and Roll:
- Put the lid on the jar
- Shake the jar until all the ingredients are mixed well!
- Continue shaking until you see uniform mixture.
- Pass the jar to the next kid for more shaking fun!
That’s it – Just pour it into the jar that you want to store in your fridge and you are set to go with the best tasting Homemade Buttermilk Ranch with this super easy recipe!
This is what is looks like in the end!
Here’s how to use it:
- Served on your favorite salad
- As a chip dip
- As a veggie dip
- Or any other use that you would normally use ranch dressing for!
One of the best parts is that not only is this the best tasting buttermilk ranch silkiness in your mouth, but it is natural too as it does not contain any of those preservatives. Please note, you will need to consume this dressing within a few days for this reason too!

Thanks for such a healthful ranch dressing! Minus the MSG & chemicals make it a keeper. We added a half cup of chopped fresh cilantro to the recipe for our taco salad supper.

Yum – we love the cilantro too, but we don’t tend to have it in the fridge as often as the green peppers. But it is an awesome addition! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thanks for this recipe! It sounds delicious. I have a question, though. Is Summer Savory the same as Savory? I have Savory, and wondered if Summer Savory was a different herb. Thanks!

Hi Ruth,
I am honestly not sure – I know that there is a “Winter Savory” and a “Summer Savory” that are both a little different in herbs and tastes, but I haven’t heard of just “Savory” before. Honestly, you could try it and it will probably be a substitute that will taste just fine in the recipe. If you try it, let us know. Btw – what brand is the Savory? I know that Summer and Winter Savory are done by a few brands – we just happen to have Spice Islands as there were on markdown at our Kroger, but we could always look it up online to compare the description/ingredient list. Have a great time making it and enjoy!Reply

savory virtually always refers to summer savory. Winter savory is woody and a lot stronger in taste.

I have looked for a Ranch Dressing in stores for years without MSG, finally I found ONE recently! It is nice that you provided this recipe, I will keep it in my cookbook for times I want to get “fancy” or can’t find the one in the stores.
