Recipe Notes

  • You can thin this dip out with milk for a pourable dressing.
  • The flavor will get a little stronger after a few hours as the herbs permeate the sour cream or another base.
  • You can add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon more ranch mix if you’d like more flavor.
  • Dairy-free ranch dip: You can use mayonnaise and/or coconut milk yogurt to make this a dairy-free ranch dip. Find out why you might want to avoid dairy and what it’s like to go dairy-free.
