Ranch dip is one of our favorite dips to serve with a fresh vegetable tray! It's so much better than any of the store bought brands and couldn't be easier to make.

We also love to serve this with pizza for dipping or you can easily use it for salad dressing!

If using this dip as a salad dressing I recommend thinning it out with buttermilk or whole milk to desired consistency.
