The dry packets are not available there in the salad
dressing aisle in the grocery stores?  You add mayo
and milk to the packet contents, let it stand about
5 minutes and it's ready to enjoy.
 
 

I am outside of the US and ranch dressing is quite common here.  I

There's several ingredients involved when you make ranch
dressing from scratch if you don't have the packets.

 
OMG.  Several ingredients.  The horror.
 
Mayo
Buttermilk
Salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Parsley
Dill weed
 
I generally use fresh cilantro instead of dill (my husband dislikes
dill), fresh chives or green onion tops instead of onion powder, and
fresh garlic.  But I'm an overachiever.

The one I just posted a link to has 11 dry ingredients then uses
yougurt or sour cream and buttermilk or milk at mixing time (grin).
