Special Notes

This copycat Hidden Valley Ranch dip recipe recreates the classic flavor that everyone loves. The combination of sour cream and mayonnaise creates the perfect base, while the ranch mix provides the authentic seasoning. The fresh dill adds a bright, herbaceous note that elevates the flavor. This dip is perfect for vegetables, chips, or as a spread for sandwiches. The longer it sits in the refrigerator, the better the flavors meld together. You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less buttermilk. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
