Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Stir until fully blended for a creamy base.
Add Herbs and Spices: Sprinkle in the dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Don’t forget the lemon juice for a fresh zing!
Whisk Until Smooth: Use a whisk to mix everything together until well-combined. You want a smooth, creamy consistency that’s bursting with flavor.
Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste your ranch. If you want more tang, add another splash of lemon juice or a pinch more salt!
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Trust me, patience is rewarded!
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve it with your favorite dippables and watch it disappear!
