Pour yourself some happiness! This buttermilk dressing recipe is ranch with a kick!

This cool, smooth buttermilk dressing recipe, jazzed up with a hint of Creole seasoning for just the right amount of zesty swagger is your new fridge staple! Ranch by another name, this tangy twist is pure Creole soul, perfect for shaking up your salad routine or adding big flavour to snacks and mains.

At its heart, this dressing blends buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream for ultimate richness and silky texture. Into the mix go spring onion tops, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, grated lemon zest, and seasoning for a delicious buttermilk ranch dressing recipe.

But what sets this butter milk ranch dressing apart is a homemade Creole seasoning -  smoky paprika, garlic and onion powders, a feisty scoop of cayenne, dried oregano, and thyme. This signature blend gives this buttermilk dressing recipe backbone, a Deep South pep which makes every bite more exciting.

Wondering what to serve alongside it? Drizzle over crisp green salads, crunchy iceberg wedges, or juicy tomato and cucumber combos. Spoon the butter milk ranch onto cider-brined fried chicken, grilled BBQ bacon prawns, or cerveza-battered fish tacos. Use as an irresistible dip for spicy potato wedges, golden crispy onion rings, or fresh crudités, or get dunkin’ with pizza crusts, hot buffalo wings, or chargrilled vegetables. You can even swirl onto burgers, brisket sandwiches, or even folded into potato salad for an extra shot of cool creamy Southern comfort - the possibilities are endless!

As versatile as it is crowd-pleasing, this buttermilk dressing recipe is perfect for every occasion, from family barbecues to quick weeknight dinners.
