Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well combined.
  2. Stir in ranch seasoning mix and any additional spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or dill.
  3. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Stir before serving and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream for a lighter version.
  • To turn this into a pourable dressing, thin with buttermilk or milk.
  • Add-ins like crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or jalapeños make it a loaded dip.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before each use.
  • Not freezer-friendly due to texture changes when thawed.
