Homemade ranch dressing - how long in fridge?

lms_bride

I have made a recipe for homemade ranch dressing a couple times and I love it.  One thing that keeps me from making it more often is that I'm never sure how long I can keep it in the fridge.  I always have a fear of eating something that has gone bad.

Take a look at the recipe (from Pioneer Woman).  What do you think?  How long would you keep this in the fridge before tossing it?

Well mayo and sour cream keep for a good bit but adding the milk to thin it is what I would be concerned with so probably however long your milk is good for would be as long as I would keep it.

You could always half the recipe if you didn't want a ton left over so you could make it more frequently but not worry about wasting it.

Man, that looks SO good!  I wish someone other than me would eat Ranch dressing :-(

We make homemade ranch dressing a lot at MIL's.  We always taste it before using, but it generally keeps a week or more.  If you have put vinegar in it and it bubbles when you stir it-throw it out no matter how old the milk/sour cream etc is.

Ok, thanks guys!  I think I will stick with a week or less... better safe than sorry.
