Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅛ tsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp diced fresh chives
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • ½ tsp sea salt (or more, depending on preference)
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the ranch ingredients to a high-sided container.
    ⅔ cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, ⅛ tsp sugar, 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice, ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp diced fresh chives, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • Using an immersion blender, blend up the dressing until it’s smooth. You could use a countertop or personal blender or a food processor (the latter won't blend it up as well, though).
  • Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables, chips, or wings, or toss it with lettuce and your favorite salad ingredients for a fresh and delicious meal option.

Notes

  • Add a splash of milk if it seems to thick, but we find we don't usually need this. 
  • If you want it a touch less tangy, you can add a little more sugar (up to 1/4 tsp total) for balance.
