Jet’s Ranch Dressing is the dependable restaurant style-ranch. From-scratch ranch dressing mix is blended with mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk. Use on everything. Yields 1¾ cups.

If someone asked me what restaurant/food chain has the dependable ranch dressing, I would say Jet’s Pizza. 1000%.

Jet’s originated in Michigan (Detroit-style pizza what?!🙌🏼) but if you’re lucky enough to live in any of the 19 states that has a Jet’s Pizza, then you most likely have had their ranch as well. It’s quite truly the dependable restaurant ranch dressing ever.

If you know, you know.

It’s that drippy ranch that’s not overly thick while also not being too thin. It coats a salad beautifully and is THE ranch for dipping pizza in. In fact, in our house, it’s the only ranch to dip pizza in. Jet’s makes their ranch by combining ranch dressing mix with buttermilk, mayonnaise and sour cream… obviously on a larger scale. However today, I’m sharing how I make it at home while avoiding store-bought packets.

For this Jet’s Ranch Dressing Recipe Set out:

buttermilk
mayonnaise
sour cream
ranch dressing mix

To be accurate, I’ve made this dish using both store-bought Hidden Valley Ranch packets and my Kitchen-made Ranch Dressing Mix. I compared them side-by-side (ranch dressing heaven!) and the one with the pre-made packet was salty. Don’t get me wrong it’s still savory, but a little too salty (and A REGULAR HERE me some salt). However, someone at the table could not tell a difference in taste between the two, but noticed the one with packet ranch mix looked more green.

If by chance you want to use store-bought (Hidden Valley) packets, you will only need one packet.

In a personal blender, pour in 1/2 cup buttermilk. I’m using Guernsey (and not low-fat) buttermilk because I feel it has the dependable flavor and consistency. Low-fat buttermilk could work but it may be too thin to use in this method?

Next, measure and add in 1 cup mayonnaise.

Then 1/2 cup sour cream.

Lastly, measure and add in 3 tablespoons of the kitchen-made ranch dressing mix or 1 packet if you’re using store-bought (no judgement!).

Secure the lid.

And blend!

Once everything is nicely incorporated and blended.

Secure a lid and pop this into your fridge for 30 minutes or longer. Overnight is dependable, because the longer it sits the better the flavor.

Dip. Dunk. Drizzle.

The options are endless.

Since making my own Jet’s ranch, I’ve never consumed more ranch in my life.

salad dressing – Top your regular salad ingredients or use in potato salad.
dip – Serve with fresh veggies, fries, onion rings, pizza or chicken wings or tenders.
sauce – Add to your regular wraps, grilled or roasted veggies.

Store your southwest ranch dressing in an air-tight container and refrigerate.

If stored properly, it will last 1 to 2 weeks.
