There’s nothing quite like the creamy, tangy goodness of Homemade Ranch Dip—especially when you know it’s made from scratch with real ingredients.
Around here, we love keeping a jar of my Homemade Ranch Mix on hand so this dip can be whipped up in minutes. In fact, we keep some in the fridge at all times!

Why We Love Homemade Ranch Dip
Homemade Ranch Dip is the ultimate crowd‑pleaser. It’s perfect for dunking fresh garden veggies, scooping up potato chips, or spreading on sandwiches. My youngest son even uses it as a thick salad dressing, spooned generously over his greens.
And if you’d prefer a pourable version, you can follow this recipe for Ranch Dressing based on the same mix.
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. My son makes it himself, often without measuring—just eyeballing equal parts sour cream and mayo, then stirring in ranch mix until it tastes perfect.
Homemade Ranch Dip Recipe
Here’s the official version if you like to measure:
- 3 teaspoons Homemade Ranch Mix
- 1 cup sour cream (full fat for the best flavor and texture)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (homemade mayo is recommended, but store‑bought works too)
Stir everything together in a bowl until smooth. Chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld—though we often dig right in!

Serving Ideas for Ranch Dip
- Veggies: Crisp cucumbers, carrots, and peppers shine when paired with Homemade Ranch Dip.
- Chips: A classic companion for potato chips or pita chips. Real food tip: look for chips cooked in avocado oil.
- Salads: Use as a thick dressing or thin slightly for a pourable version.
- Sandwiches & Wraps: Spread a little for extra flavor.
Final Thoughts
With a jar of Homemade Ranch Mix in the pantry, you’re never far from a batch of Homemade Ranch Dip. It’s quick, fresh, and family‑approved, proof that the simplest recipes often become the most beloved.
