Ranch dressing is one of the most popular salad dressings you can think of - people love it so much it doubles as a dip for for crudite and hot wings and even gets drizzled on pizza. When something is so prominent in the world of food, it's worth it to put in the effort and make it yourself. This recipe gets a nice tang from the buttermilk, sour cream and lemon juice, a "pop" from the garlic and pepper, then rounds out with a nice blend of herbs. One standout feature of this recipe is the inclusion of Breton crackers - it's not so much in your face, but has a subtle way of bringing everything together in harmony.
You will need:
250ml / 1C buttermilk
250ml / 6.8oz mayonnaise
250ml / 5.9oz sour cream
10 Breton crackers
10ml / 2tsp minced garlic
30ml / 2Tbs lemon juice
1/8 white onion (roughly chopped)
5ml / 1tsp chopped parsley
5ml / 1tsp chopped dill
5ml / 1tsp chopped chives
10ml / 2tsp coarse ground black pepper
to taste kosher salt
Method:
- put the section of onion and put it in a blender with the garlic, crackers, lemon juice and sour cream
- blend until completely smooth

- transfer to a bowl and stir in the chopped herbs
