Ingredients
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.
