Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
2. Add parsley, dill, chives, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
3. Adjust thickness with more buttermilk if desired. Add lemon juice or vinegar for brightness.
4. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
5. Stir before serving. Use as a dip, dressing, or sandwich spread.
Notes
For a thicker dip-style ranch, use less buttermilk.
Use fresh herbs for best flavor, but dried will work in a pinch.
Always chill before serving to allow flavors to develop.
