- Fresh garlic and lemon juice is the secret to a great-tasting ranch.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Add the buttermilk at the end. This is just to thin out the dressing and add extra tang.
- No buttermilk? Use the separated liquid in the sour cream carton, whole milk, or heavy cream instead, along with an extra dash of lemon juice.
