Tips for Perfect Ranch Dressing

• Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor and make a significant difference in the taste of the ranch dressing.
• Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
