Ingredients in buffalo ranch sauce

This buffalo ranch sauce is just a few major ingredients, then a handful of spices you’ll likely have on hand in your spice cabinet. The combination of mayonnaise and sour cream makes a rich, thick, base. If you prefer, you can swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter spin. The ingredients you’ll need for buffalo ranch are:

• Mayonnaise
• Sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
• Frank’s hot sauce
• Garlic
• Spices: Dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
• Fresh chives, optional

The key: dried dill

The key to any homemade ranch recipe is dried dill. Dill adds that classic ranch flavor and tastes just like the package of ranch powder that’s popularly sold in grocery stores.

Buying dried dill for your spice cabinet is handy for ranch-flavored dips and dressings like buffalo ranch, ranch dip, or chipotle ranch. It’s also a key flavoring that adds an herby undertone to recipes like this tortellini salad and this broccoli potato soup.

Sour cream vs Greek yogurt

Using Greek yogurt in this buffalo ranch sauce makes it taste lighter and reduces the overall calories. Full fat Greek yogurt is preferable: it reduces the calories yet still lends a richness to the flavor.

Sour cream is our favorite in this sauce, though. It makes it rich, creamy and perfect for dipping and drizzling.
