Ingredients
Dry Ranch Dip Mix Ingredients
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp parsley (dried)
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2-3 tsp prepared ranch dip mix (or to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dip Mix: In a small bowl or jar, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Stir or shake well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed to create your homemade ranch seasoning blend.
- Make the Ranch Dip: In a separate bowl, add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Then, stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons of the prepared ranch dip mix depending on your taste preference. Mix thoroughly until the dip is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ranch dip for at least 15 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and deepen, resulting in a tastier and more cohesive dip.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ranch dip mix to suit your flavor preference—add more for a stronger taste or less for a milder dip.
- The dip is best served chilled but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and mayonnaise.
- Use fresh herbs if available, but dried herbs work well and provide a more concentrated flavor here.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables, chips, crackers, or even as a sandwich spread.
