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.

- Pizza dipping sauce (don’t knock it till you try it!)
- Fresh salads (especially Cobb or garden salads)
- Veggie trays
- Fried pickles or chicken tenders
