Ingredients 

One cup of Sour cream the creaminess from sour cream will make this ranch dressing perfect tasting! If you want to cut calories, you can substitute Greek Yogurt. 

1/3 cup of Mayonnaise

Dijon Mustard- Dijon mustard is one of my all-time favorite ingredients. Ingredients. Dijon gives the ranch a little bite.

1/3 cup of Pickle Juice– I use dill pickle juice for this recipe. Pickle juice from your favorite kind of pickles will work great. 

1 tsp dried onion- or onion powder- I prefer dried onion, but onion powder will also work.  

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried parsley- dried parsley is used simply for “color” you can also add chives if you like. 

One tsp dried or fresh dill-  not all ranch dressing recipes call for dill, but I think it will make the sauce taste so much better. 

1/2 teaspoon salt-  a touch of salt is needed for this dressing to be complete.

Optional: Instead of adding the herbs and spices individually, you can use a store-bought ranch seasoning mix packet and mix it with sour cream, mayo, and pickle juice.   If you are a pepper fan, you can add a little if you like. You can choose to add additional fresh herbs.

• You can switch this recipe by using pickle juice from spicy pickles.
