This ranch dip recipe is full of creamy, tangy flavor and uses ingredients likely already on hand!
Mayonnaise, sour cream, and a handful of herbs and spices make a delicious one step dip!
- It has the best fresh flavor and uses ingredients you likely have.
- Ranch dip could not be easier to make! Mix everything in one bowl and chill until ready to use.

Ingredients For Ranch Dip
- Mayonnaise: Mayonnaise makes the base rich and creamy.
- Sour cream: Sour cream adds tang and lightens this ranch dip. I often replace it with Greek yogurt.
- Herbs: I prefer fresh herbs if possible, but you can use dried herbs in this recipe. If using dried herbs, let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Variations
- Add a bit of buttermilk powder for extra tang and creaminess without thinning the dip. It can be found in the dried milk section of the supermarket or ordered online here.
- Add a grated dill pickle or diced jalapeno.
- Stir in some finely shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled blue cheese.
Ways to Use Ranch Dip
Use ranch dip for all kinds of dipping and dunking!
- It’s perfect for a raw veggie platter-carrots, cucumber, celery, bell pepper, and tomatoes!
- Homemade ranch dip is perfect for potato chips, fries, tots, chicken wings, and more.
- Enjoy it as a sauce for grilled chicken or wraps – or even pasta salad.
Storage
Store ranch dip in a plastic airtight container or a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. I don’t recommend freezing it because the dairy ingredients make the thawed dip grainy.
