Notes
Substitutions And Tips
- Taste the homemade ranch dressing before adding salt. The dressing on it's own may be salty enough for your taste.
- Substitute ¾ cup of buttermilk for the sour cream and heavy cream
- Substitute 2 teaspoons dried dill weed for the fresh dill
- Leave out the onions, or if you like the flavor but not the bite, add ½ teaspoon onion powder in place of onion
- Substitute ¼ teaspoon garlic powder for the fresh garlic
- Fresh squeezed lemon juice is best, but in a pinch, I have used bottled lemon juice.
