Ditch the Store-Bought - Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (Probiotic!)

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

My wife and I absolutely love watching your videos! Your books are priceless and have helped us with our garden planning immensely! Thank you for doing what you do!

[@JP1AO]

I just started making my own buttermilk per your video. It really is a lot creamier than regular store bought buttermilk.

[@scottheld4837]

Nice over the shoulder toss. I filled an very large garbage can of over 6 months collected bio engineered, extended shelf life products three times over. God Bless you.💪 ❤❤❤💪

[@janinesmith1225]

Thanks for the great video I love ranch dressing and I am tired of buying all these things in the store so I’m definitely gonna make it myself. Looks delicious.

[@teresahoye6477]

Thank you for this video. I love ranch dressing and making it myself, is even better.

[@savanah1407]

Buttermilk ranch dressing tastes the BEST of all ranch’s. Thank you for the info!

[@diannemiller4754]

Melissa, I made this!!! Yummy. I used your ranch dressing recipe it truly is a keeper 😊 thank you for sharing

[@Backwoodsgardener]

Awesome. Can hardly wait to try your recipe. Never knew I could make fermented buttermilk. Will make some ASAP

[@pistachio57]

Thanks for the recipe! Looks wonderful.

[@rivercrockett343]

I can't say if I have ever bought Ranch dressing in a bottle, but I have tasted it and don't care for it at all, too slimy and not very flavorful. When I first started making it many years ago, I used the original Ranch dressing powder. Over the years, the taste of it changed, while also getting more expensive. Then I found a recipe for homemade dry mix powder, which I would use with mayo and buttermilk. But I started making kefir last year, and now I don't have to buy buttermilk! Thanks for the video and link to the fermented lemons. I will be doing that.

Wish I could figure out how to make this dairy free. It sounds so good!

Ranch on chili? I can't believe I never thought of that.

I think bacon ranch dressing would be yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

[@Davidg1t1]

Great video! Thank You Melissa!

[@brendaortiz5457]

Love this recipe! We are a ranch loving family, and love that there is a homemade option! Have you canned your homemade dressing? I would like to make a big batch to have ready on the shelf. thank you

[@MelissaKNorris]

No you can't can this, it would kill all the good cultures and the ingredients aren't safe to can

[@KimSmith-sg1pw]

This is a wonderful recipe. I can't wait to try it. Do you have any recipes on what to do with the rest of the buttermilk? I usually end up wasting it. I need more recipes that call for buttermilk! Thank you.

[@MelissaKNorris]

If you go to the buttermilk recipe on my website I've linked to the recipes I use it in

[@condeerogers5858]

Add a tablespoon of horseradish and add a really good flavor. Better than you think.

[@kcmsmith31]

What a great idea. That sounds amazing. Now I’m starving for that. Thanks a lot 😂

[@tamararobinson2069]

Thanks so much!! Can’t wait! Question - I’ve made the fermented lemons taught by you - now that you’ve cut that lemon in half can you put the other half back into your ferment jar to save it?

[@MelissaKNorris]

I usually cover it and put in the fridge to use that week

[@tamararobinson2069]

Sadly, I can’t order your book, you have no shipping options to AK?

Can you make butter out of heavy cream powder?

[@kav0r]

Does it usually taste sour? I bought a bottle from the supermarket and it tastes sour.

[@eclecticbasil]

I may try this with Kefir!

[@rivercrockett343]

I make it all the time with homemade kefir. It's great! Kefir Ranch Dressing Ingredients: • 1/2 c. plain homemade milk kefir • 1/2 c. mayonnaise • 1/2 t. dried parsley • 1/2 t. dried dill weed • 1/2 t. dried chives • 1/2 t. garlic powder • 1/2 t. onion powder • 1/2 t. salt (I use a little less and add more later, if needed • 1/4 t. ground black pepper (optional-I don’t use) Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl until evenly mixed. Cover and let flavors blend in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

[@beckystahl5830]

@@boymama1623 Mine isn't real thick but it isn't runny either. I use kombucha after first ferment for the culture and avocado oil. I'm not sure if either will make a difference in thickness. I used the culture mayo to make homemade ranch dressing and it was awesome. I used cultured buttermilk from the store but will be making my own for the next batch.

[@susanavazquez9825]

What kind of mayo u used

[@MelissaKNorris]

The recipe on my website

[@MollieC-uc1fk]

Try to buy organic on these products because of what the cows eat too so putting that out there. I love pepper in my ranch dressing too so can add that as well. I buy the store brand here in Texas that doesn't include MSG and it has added peppercorn. Pretty much all canola/soy is GMO in the US...canola is a horrible oil to use for anything. Also it's not good mixing citrus with dairy, it curdles in your stomach and gives you tummy issues, this is per Edgar Cayce if you have read his info.

[@MelissaKNorris]

I've never had issues with citrus and dairy.

[@judyjohnson1012]

Are you making your own mayonnaise?

[@MelissaKNorris]

I'll be sharing that recipe soon

[@colleenfoster6841]

Ranch on chili? Please , say it isn't so! 🤣

[@Ras7685]

FYI...there is NO Man in Mayonnaise !

[@justine9980]

All of those oils like canola, soybean and sunflower are super inflammatory. The way they are processed are horrible for you. The good oils I look for are avocado, coconut and olive. Which most companies won’t use because of cost.

[@starnoelle8248]

Buttermilk and butter milk isnt the same thing 😢

[@Minnehaha64]

They also do not ever tell you what "natural flavors" are. And in these days, I am afraid to ask! And isn’t canola something that negatively affects the brain?

[@DangerZone-w6y]

?? It starts out not so bad? Ahhhhhhhh Vegtable oil is the worst possible thing to put in your body..! That's at the top of the list of reasons to make your own. And because store bought mayo, has vasty has gabage in it also.. I use home make Mayo.. egg and olive oil only.
