Ingredients

Hot Honey Ranch Ingredients

  • ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, honey, garlic chili oil, ranch seasoning mix, chopped fresh dill, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, ensuring the flavors meld together.
  3. Store and Serve: Transfer the Hot Honey Ranch into an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be kept for up to one week. Serve the sauce cold for a refreshing dip or warm it slightly to enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • For a milder version, reduce the red pepper flakes.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little milk or buttermilk to adjust thickness.
  • Use fresh dill for the brightest flavor; dried dill can be substituted but use about 1 tablespoon.
  • Great as a dip for chicken wings, vegetables, or as a salad dressing.
  • Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature for easier mixing.
