SOUR CREAM RANCH DIP!! HOMEMADE HOLIDAY!!

Let's use some of our homemade ranch dressing mix to make a simple and festive dip for the holidays or anytime you want something delicious to share or snack on all by yourself! This sour cream ranch dip is super simple, two ingredients and most of all delicious. This can be made just as is with the mix and the sour cream or you can boost it and make a variety of delicious ranch dips that will wow your friends, family and guests. I know you will love it if you give this a try!

This could not be more simple and while I know that most of you know how to mix something into some sour cream I think it is never a bad thing to reiterate a simple idea. I have used a good quality sour cream. By that I mean that the ingredients should only be two. Cream and culture. Nothing more, nothing less. If the sour cream has added thickeners such as gelatin, gums or other unpronounceable ingredients, it is best to leave that at the store and opt for another brand. Good things start with good ingredients. This simple dip is no exception.

I have used three tablespoons of the ranch dressing mix that I shared in a previous video with two cups or one 16 ounce container of sour cream. My preferred brand is Daisy. But any other good quality brand will do and many store brands are also very good quality. I use the Daisy brand because it is not much more ounce per ounce in price compared to the store brand and I get consistent quality every time. You should use what you like best.

You can think of this basic dip as a blank canvas. This Ranch dip can be the beginning of a number of different types of dips that you can enjoy just by adding in one or two other ingredients to take this to a new level. Of course simple ranch dip is perfect on your veggie tray or next to a big bowl of ripple chips. But you can take this a lot of places!

Some things you can do with ranch dip for your consideration are:

Cucumber ranch: Add 1 cup of grated and squeezed English cucumber.

Smoky Bacon Ranch: 1/2 cub crumbled bacon and a dash of liquid smoke

Ranch Tzaziki: Add 1 cup of grated and squeezed English cucumber, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1/2 of a grated onion. the zest and juice of one lemon and a tablespoon of fresh dill, minced well.

Lemon Pepper Ranch: Add a tablespoon of your favorite lemon pepper seasoning.

Blue Cheese Ranch: 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Chive and onion Ranch: Add 1/2 cup of both green onion and white onion and chives chopped well and stirred in.

Chipotle Ranch: add in one chopped chipotle pepper along with a bit of the adobo sauce it is packed in.

Salsa Ranch: Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite jarred salsa or pico de gallo.

Avocado ranch: Stir in 1/2 of a mashed ripe avocado.

Caramelized Onion Ranch: Add in one large onion that has been caramelized and cooled before stirring into the mix.

The list goes on and on. You are the master of your ranch dip! Make it your own and think outside the box!

I hope you give this simple idea a try for your holiday entertaining or just while snacking and watching holiday movies! I hope you try it and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating and Happy Holidays!
