Copycat Cheesecake Factory Ranch

This Copycat Cheesecake Factory Ranch is so easy to recreate at home. It is a very smooth ranch dressing with garlic and Parmesan notes. This ranch goes great on a fresh green salad, fried zucchini sticks, or to dip chicken tenders in.

Add in the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 pinch black pepper, ¼ teaspoon sugar
Let the ranch sit in your fridge for 15 to 20 minutes so the full flavor has time to come out.

Tips:

Use fresh garlic and Duke's brand mayonnaise for the best results.
You may want to add more or less salt and pepper. I recommend doing it to taste.
Give the dressing about 15 to 20 minutes to rest in your fridge. This will help the flavor come out.
Shake your buttermilk well before using.

Storage:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. I like to use a mason jar to store mine. The ranch will be good for up to five days after making.
