Easy Homemade Ranch Dip Recipe

- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Ranch Dip: Mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, fresh chives, parsley, garlic salt, onion powder, granulated garlic or garlic powder, white distilled vinegar, ground mustard, dried dill, granulated sugar and black pepper.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, whisk or hand mixer.
- You can make this dip lower calorie by adjusting the ingredients using your favorite brands of lighter versions of buttermilk, mayonnaise and sour cream.
- The sugar used in the recipe is to balance the flavor. It doesn’t make the dressing sweet.
