The best homemade ranch dressing

Ranch dressing is a classic for a reason. Buttermilk gives the creamy dressing a tangy edge, onion and garlic powder provide a savoury base while dill and chives add a bright herbaceous finish. Plus, this easy American dressing can be whipped up in 5 minutes.

• How to use it: Ranch dressing is great on crisp lettuce wedges or potato salads – or use as a dip for crudités or as a barbecue condiment – it’s ideal for dunking chicken wings in.
• Make ahead: Keep the ranch dressing in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week, stirring/shaking it up before use.
