Since I posted a hot wing sauce yesterday, y’all know you need a good dip to go along with it. My personal favorite is blue cheese, but my daughter vastly prefers Ranch Dip. Essentially, if it’s not something on which you would put ketchup, she’s gonna slather it with ranch. And because I’m violently opposed to my kids eating gobs and gobs of soybean oil that’s packed into bottled ranch dressing, I decided to make my own.
So, this is kid approved.

Notes
Some folks don’t care for mayo in their ranch dip. If that’s you, that’s OK! You can make this same dip by omitting the mayo and adding an extra 1/2 c sour cream. It does change the macros slightly, but not by a ton.
