Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix to start building your dip’s creamy base.
Mix Smoothly: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dip is smooth without any lumps.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dip and add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, or pepper according to your preference to enhance and customize the flavor.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This step allows the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
Serve and Garnish: Serve the chilled dip with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for added freshness and color. Enjoy!

Notes

For a homemade ranch seasoning, mix dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar as a substitute for the packet.
Chilling the dip for at least an hour improves flavor melding and thickens the texture.
Use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Optional seasonings like garlic and onion powder can be adjusted or omitted based on dietary preferences.
This dip keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
