Notes

Adjust Consistency: Depending on your preference for thickness, adjust the amount of buttermilk or mayo to achieve the desired consistency for dressing or dipping.
Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: While dried herbs are convenient and essential for the signature ranch flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs if available, to enhance the dressing’s vibrancy.
Taste and Adjust: After mixing, taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Sometimes a little extra pinch of salt or a dash more vinegar can make all the difference.
