Ingredients (~2 cups)
- 3/4 cup real mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup thick sour cream
- 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 3/4 tsp dried minced onion
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Mix the Base
Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to a medium bowl.
Use a silicone or rubber spatula to fold them together until smooth and uniform.
Add the Seasonings
Add the dried minced onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Fold the seasonings in until completely smooth – the dried herbs will clump at first but keep folding until everything is evenly distributed.
Let the Flavors Develop
Refrigerate for ~30 minutes before serving to allow the dried onion to hydrate and the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust the salt or garlic powder as needed.
This keeps in the fridge for up to a week and actually gets better after the first day as the flavors continue to develop.
Homemade Ranch Dip
This is way better than the bottled stuff and uses ingredients you probably already have. The ranch powder clumps at first but smooths out once you fold it in.
