    Ingredients

    Ingredients for BBQ ranch labeled.

    Ingredient Notes

    Mayo & Sour Cream - The creamy base for the bbq ranch.

    BBQ sauce - Your favorite bbq sauce gives the sauce its bbq flavor.

    Lemon Juice - A little bit of acid helps to bring out all of the other flavors.

    Herbs & Spices - Give the bbq sauce more flavor.

    Milk - Thins out the bbq ranch if you want to use it as a salad dressing rather than a dip.

    Instructions

    Note: Full list of ingredients, their amounts, and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

    Step 1:

    Add the mayo, sour cream, bbq sauce, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to a bowl. Whisk until well combined.

    If you want to use it as a dip leave out the milk. But, if you'd like to use it as a salad dressing, add the milk and mix until well combined.

    Step 2:

    The BBQ Ranch can be served immediately but is best when chilled for 4 hours or overnight.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • For a thicker tangier sauce, use buttermilk instead of milk.
    • You can use fresh herbs instead of dried but the ranch will need to be used up more quickly.
    • For a lighter healthier version, use greek yogurt in place of the mayo and sour cream.

    Storage

    Store the bbq ranch in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    Hint: mason jars are the perfect container for storage.

    Servings 8 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup mayo
    • ½ cup bbq sauce use any you like
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried dill
    • 1 teaspoon dried chives
    • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon salt fine kosher or sea
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
    • 2-3 tablespoons milk optional

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayo, bbq sauce, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
    • If you are serving it as a dip, skip the milk. If you are using it as a salad dressing, whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk until it is the consistency you like.
    • Best chilled covered for 4 hours or overnight.

    Notes

    Store the bbq ranch in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I recommend storing it in a mason jar.
    You can use fresh herbs in place of dried but the ranch will go bad more quickly, typically after about 5 days.
