Homemade Ranch Dip

Homemade ranch dip is creamy, tangy, flavorful, and delicious. This classic dip is so easy to make at home in just minutes, with the perfect combination of ingredients including fresh herbs and seasoning.

Why You'll Love This Homemade Ranch Dip

• It’s ready in five minutes. You won't believe how easy it is to make ranch dip at home. You simple combine all your ingredients in a bowl and mix them together until combined. You don't need a food processor or any fancy equipment, and there is no cooking or baking involved. Just less than 5 minutes of time from start to finish — maybe ten if you count washing the dishes.
• Loaded with classic ranch flavor. This ranch dip is creamy, tangy, and slightly sour with hints of lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs like dill and parsley. Plus, this dip made with fresh ingredients so it's so much more potent and flavorful than store-bought dip.
• So much better than store-bought dips. Store-bought ranch is convenient but they're typically filled with preservatives and filler ingredients, and sometimes even sugar. When you make homemade dips, you know exactly what ingredients are going in there. But since there are no preservatives, this homemade ranch lasts only one week. Some other easy last minute dips that you can make at home are Avocado Hummus, 7 Layer Dip, and Whipped Ricotta Dip.
