Instructions:

1. Begin by creating a flavor-packed base. Take 2-3 cloves of garlic and 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and mash them together until a luscious paste is formed.

2. Transfer this aromatic paste into a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, setting the stage for the ranch magic to unfold.

3. Now, it’s time to introduce the star ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1 cup of sour cream to the garlic-salt concoction, creating a creamy foundation for the dressing.

4. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of buttermilk, infusing that signature buttermilky goodness into the mix. Follow it up with a tablespoon each of fresh lime juice, cilantro, and parsley, bringing a burst of freshness to your dressing.

5. Embrace the herbal symphony by adding fresh chives to your liking, elevating the flavor profile to new heights.

6. With all the ingredients in the bowl, wield your whisk and blend them together until a harmonious union is achieved. The result? A velvety, well-balanced ranch dressing that dances on your taste buds.

7. Take a moment to savor the creation and, like any culinary artist, taste and adjust the seasonings with a sprinkle of kosher salt and a dash of black pepper. Your masterpiece should reflect your personal palate preferences.

8. Your homemade ranch dressing is now ready to steal the spotlight. Choose to use it immediately, drizzling it over salads, veggies, or as a delectable dipping sauce. Alternatively, cover it securely and let it chill in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify.
