How Do You Make Buttermilk Ranch Dressing From Scratch?
The steps to make this ranch dressing are incredibly easy. I highly recommend using an 8 oz mason jar because it will save you time and it's the perfect dressing storage container for your fridge!
- First, add all the ingredients to your mason jar.
- Seal the lid and give the jar a good shake to mix up the ingredients.
- Store in the fridge for a minimum of two hours before using to get the desired consistency and taste.
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Storage Tips:
One of my favorite tips for making homemade salad dressings is to pour all ingredients into a mason jar. Then just shake it up! The mason jar is easy to pour and it's perfect for storing your dressing in the fridge.
In this recipe I use the Le Parfait Terrine 350 ml canning jar. It's quite lovely and has an easy snap-open lid, plus an orange rubber seal to prevent any spills.
You can also use a regular 8 oz mason jar as well as a more budget-friendly option.

How Long Does The Ranch Dressing Last?
The buttermilk ranch dressing will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge if stored tightly with a lid. However, I highly doubt that it will last that long!
One of my favorite was to use this dressing for is a quick snack with raw vegetables including sliced carrots, celery and cherry tomatoes. It makes the perfect sauce for dipping.
