Easy Buffalo Wild Wings Ranch Recipe Tips

  • Use full-fat dairy – For the creamiest, richest ranch, use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise.
  • Adjust consistency – Thin with more buttermilk if you want a pourable dressing, or use less for a thicker dip.
  • Fresh herbs matter – Fresh parsley, chives, or dill elevate the flavor over dried herbs.
  • Let it rest – Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
  • Customize the zing – Add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of garlic powder for extra brightness.
  • Store properly – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Storing Instructions

  • Refrigeration: Store the ranch dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 1 week.
  • Shake before use: Ingredients may separate over time, so give the container a good shake before serving again.
  • Freezing (not recommended): Freezing can change the texture, making it grainy, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
