Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream to the mixture, beat with a wire whisk until evenly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Recipe Note

This dressing packs a punch of flavor without the use of dried herbs or spices. I wanted a recipe that explodes with freshness, a bit of tang, and traditional ranch flavor. It can be made on the lighter side if you wish. Use it to dip veggies or decadent foods such as fried onion rings or chicken strips. Stores well in the refrigerator. To lighten the calorie count, use light mayonnaise and light sour cream. You can even substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream if you like, but it will alter the taste somewhat.
