Mix the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the Flavors: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and if you're feeling fancy, the fresh chives. Mix everything until well incorporated.
Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Be generous – you want that flavor to pop!
Chill: Allow the ranch to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Serve: Serve with your favorite wings, veggies, or as a salad dressing. Enjoy every creamy bite!
