What We Love About This Recipe
- Making buffalo ranch at home honestly could not be any easier. If you can scoop and stir, you can make this dressing!
- It’s super versatile. Seriously. None of the flavors are too strong or too spicy, so you can easily pair it with potato chips or rutabaga fries, celery, chicken wings, roasted veggies, even an air fryer baked potato!
Chef’s Tips
- You’re in total control, so you can adjust the recipe as needed to get your ideal buffalo ranch. For a thicker dressing, use less milk or more mayo and sour cream. If it’s too thick, though, you can add more milk until it’s as thin as you like it. Play around with the amounts of ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and hot sauce until you’ve got the flavor just how you like it.
- If you’ve got the time to spare, refrigerate the prepared dressing for at least an hour before serving it. That extra time allows the flavors to meld and intensify, so your buffalo ranch dressing will actually be more flavorful an hour after you make it!
