Homemade Ranch Dressing from Scratch

Making your own sauces and dressings is always the best route.  They taste so much better, and you can adjust the herbs, spices, and ingredients exactly to your taste buds' preferences.

This Homemade Ranch Dressing from Scratch is no different.  It's totally delicious and customize-able at the same time.  I do want to encourage you to make sure your herbs are finely minced, or even processed, especially if you're used to a smooth creamy ranch sauce.  The chunky texture that coarsely chopped herbs will give is not really ideal.

Homemade Ranch Dressing from Scratch is perfect for salads, or a dipping sauce for your favorite snacks or wings.
