Ingredients You’ll Need
The base of this dressing is mayonnaise. If you’re adventurous you can make try making your own mayo with egg yolks and white vinegar, but I’d recommend using a store-bought for a quick and easy option.
Stir in some buttermilk, which is the key ingredient to tangy and creamy copycat Jet’s ranch dressing.
​Ranch seasoning mix – I used a store-bought spice packet which had herbs and spices for the perfect ranch flavor.
​Fresh black pepper for a kick and a bit of spice.

Additions and Substitutions
Instead of using all mayo, you can try this dressing with 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt.
For extra flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder.
Add fresh dill or any fresh herbs for an tasty version.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicier version.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: In a mixing bowl (or in a blender), whip the mayonnaise using a whisk or hand mixer until airy and slightly fluffy.
Step 2: Slowly pour in the buttermilk, and whisk until it’s fully incorporated into the mayonnaise.
Step 3: Stir in the ranch seasoning and black pepper, and mix well.
Step 4: Pour into a bowl or a mason jar, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Recipe FAQs
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container or mason jar with lid, and enjoy within 2 weeks of making.
This ranch dressing can be enjoyed with pizza and is perfect for dipping pizza crust into, or as a dip for chicken wings with spicy buffalo sauce, chopped vegetables, or use as a salad dressing for a chopped salad.
For best results, enjoy this dressing while it’s fresh – the buttermilk may cause the dressing to separate if it’s been frozen and thawed.
