Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, use unsweetened almond milk combined with lemon juice or vinegar instead of buttermilk. Combine 1 cup of dairy-free milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, allow to rest for 10 minutes (until it curdles), then use in the recipe.

What can I use instead of fresh herbs?

Dried dill and parsley can be substituted in a pinch (use 1 teaspoon each), but fresh herbs make the flavor much better.

Can I thicken the ranch for dipping?

Absolutely! Simply reduce the buttermilk or even add an extra spoonful of mayo for a thicker dip consistency.

What can I serve this ranch with?

It's perfect for salads, chicken wings, veggie platters, with chicken tenders, or even drizzled over baked potatoes.
