If you love the classic taste of Runza Ranch Dressing, you’re going to be thrilled with this recipe! I’ve got a homemade version that nails that rich, creamy texture and those fresh herb flavors we all crave.
In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise, ½ cup of sour cream, and ½ cup of buttermilk. Whisk them together until they are well combined and smooth. The mixture should be creamy with a slightly tangy aroma from the buttermilk.
Stir in the finely chopped fresh chives, parsley, 1 teaspoon of dried dill, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These ingredients give the dressing its classic ranch flavor, with a nice balance of fresh and savory notes.
Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Start with a pinch of each, taste, and adjust as necessary. This step is crucial to bringing all the flavors together.
Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are evenly distributed. If you prefer a smoother texture, transfer the dressing to a blender and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more cohesive and flavorful dressing.

Notes
To store leftover Runza Ranch Dressing, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to one week. Before using, give it a quick stir as the ingredients may separate slightly over time.Avoid leaving the dressing at room temperature for extended periods to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage.
