MAKE YOUR OWN HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING
Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is very simple to make and anything homemade is better. It keeps in the refrigerator for several days. You can double or triple the recipe or cut it in half. It is very versatile in that you can add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste. We eat lots of salads for lunch and love homemade buttermilk ranch dressing. You can use the fat free buttermilk and mayonnaise and light sour cream to make it more healthy. This makes a great dip for fresh vegetables, too. My family loves this dressing and will put it on baked potatoes, eat it with chips or add it to a grilled hamburger.

How long will the ranch dressing stay fresh in the frig?
I have kept it for about a week Teresa. It is usually gone before then with my family. Your buttermilk and sour cream would need to be fresh or have good dates on it.
