    Red Lobster has such salad dressing. I really love their ranch dressing. We don’t go to Red Lobster too often but every time we go, I’m sure to get their salad with ranch!

    I’m a huge fan of making copycat recipes at home and one thing I’ve found that restaurant quality dressing isn’t as hard to make as you think. I think it’s once of the best ways to dress up a salad at home!

    Ingredients needed

    For this copycat Red Lobster ranch dressing, you will need:

    • Mayonnaise: Make sure you use a full fat mayonnaise and NOT salad dressing or light mayonnaise.
    • Sour cream: I recommend using full fat.
    • Buttermilk: I recommend buying buttermilk at the store rather than making your own for that restaurant quality taste. If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand you can make buttermilk by combining one cup of milk and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir well.
    • Parsley, dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt: To give the ranch some flavor.

    How to make

    In a medium bowl combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well.

    Next whisk in the parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add salt and pepper to your taste.

    If you find the ranch isn’t runny enough, add two tablespoons of buttermilk. If you find it isn’t thick enough, add one tablespoon of mayonnaise. Whisk again.

    Let the ranch sit in your fridge for at least thirty minutes before serving. The spices need time to marinate before they really give off the full ranch taste.

    Tips

    • Be sure to let the ranch sit for about thirty minutes before serving. The flavors need some time to come together before you serve it.
    • Try using a mason jar to store this dressing in your fridge.
    • Add more buttermilk for a runnier ranch and add more mayonnaise for a thicker ranch.

    How to store

    Store this ranch dressing in airtight container in your fridge. This ranch will be good for one week after making.
