Restaurant Style Ranch
I love ranch dressing, but it’s safe to say my homemade ranch recipe has set the bar high for all other dressings! As a kid, I used to be excited when my mom would bring home store-bought ranch, but once I started making it from scratch with simple ingredients, everything changed.
Now, I can confidently say nothing compares to the real deal: homemade ranch sauce! Even the pickiest eaters (my husband, haha) LOVE this recipe for ranch dressing, and always ask for it to be on hand. Win-win!
If you’re a lover of that irresistible restaurant ranch flavor, this homemade ranch dressing is an absolute must-try! Use it for salads or as a dip for chicken wings. I guarantee you’ll always make homemade from now on!

Buttermilk Ranch Recipe Tips
- Fresh herbs: For the best flavor, use fresh herbs, not dried. You can use dried herbs in a pinch, but fresh ones will give you better results!
- Let it chill: After making ranch dressing, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving! This will better combine the flavors.
How to Store Homemade Ranch Dressing
- Refrigerator: Store homemade ranch dressing in an airtight container, such as a mason jar or storage container, for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezing: You can also freeze ranch dressing. See below for instructions.
I prefer to make my ranch dressing ahead so the flavors have time to meld together. After 1-2 days, it’s perfect and so flavorful!
How to Freeze Ranch Dressing
Ranch dressing can be frozen, although its texture will likely change after freezing and may become grainy if not frozen correctly.
For best results, first, freeze the dressing in an ice cube tray covered with plastic. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, pressing out any excess air.
Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, allow the dressing to thaw in the refrigerator overnight or by placing the bag in cold water. Whisk thoroughly before using again.
Restaurant Ranch Recipes FAQ
Restaurant Ranch is so good because it’s typically made from scratch with quality ingredients! Just like buttermilk ranch dressing, the fresh ingredients mean it will be a higher quality than bottled ranch.
Homemade buttermilk ranch dressing uses a mix of buttermilk, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, fresh dill, chives, and parsley.
