Ranch Dip Recipe
Thick and creamy Ranch Dip is the perfect appetizer or snack for your party menu. It's flavorful with herby garlic and fresh chives. The sour cream and mayo base makes it deliciously tangy while perfectly coating everything from raw veggies to chicken tenders to French fries.The dip comes together in minutes and is ready to eat immediately, but tastes better the longer the flavors meld in the fridge, so it's a perfect make-ahead dish.This recipe makes 1 1/3 cups of ranch dip.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup chives, super finely chopped (about 1 small bunch fresh chives)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix - In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Chill - Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. For the best flavor, let the dip meld for 2 hours or overnight. It will keep well in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
Substitutions:
- Sour cream - try plain Greek yogurt, full fat or low fat
- Mayo - store-bought or homemade is fine
- Chives - try 1/4 tsp onion powder along with 2 Tbsp minced fresh dill or 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley to keep the herby brightness
- Garlic - try 1-2 medium garlic cloves grated, although fresh garlic will make it a little more punchy or spicy while garlic powder is a bit more kid-friendly.
