Easy Copycat Jason’s Deli Ranch Dressing Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh buttermilk – It makes a big difference in flavor and texture.
  • Let it rest – The flavor gets better after chilling for an hour.
  • Too thick? Add a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Want it spicy? Mix in a little cayenne or chipotle powder.
  • Store-bought hack: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix ½ cup milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Storing Instructions

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight jar or container for up to 1 week.
  • Do not freeze: Dairy-based dressings don’t freeze well—they’ll separate when thawed.
