Ranch Seasonings and Dip Ingredients

Ranch seasoning and spice mix is all about blending the right combination of herbs and spices to create that classic ranch flavor. While I always encourage you to “make it your own,” there are a few important ingredients like chives, dill, and garlic that shouldn’t be skipped.

To make the most delicious ranch, the ingredients you will need are real mayonnaise, sour cream, dry chives, dry parsley, dry dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

Can you convert ranch dip to ranch dressing?

Yes, it’s easy to turn Ranch Dip into a smooth homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.

Using the same ingredients from the dip recipe, simply whisk in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of buttermilk, adding it slowly until you reach your desired consistency. Adjust the amount based on how thick or thin you like your dressing. Easy peasy!

What to serve with Ranch Dip?

Honestly, ranch dip is one of those things I always keep on hand because it goes with just about everything. I’ve used it to dress up sandwiches, wraps, and, of course, its my kids go-to dip for chicken nuggets.

As a grown up that can eat veggies without cringing, I personal pair with veggies like sliced red, green, and yellow peppers, whole mushrooms, and cucumber slices. Raw broccoli and cauliflower florets are also perfect for dipping.

And if you’re in the mood for something salty, you can’t go wrong with potato chips, crispy chicken wings, or even French fries. Ranch is like the most important dip in American culture!
