Barbecue-Ranch Dip/Salad Dressing

Jump to Recipe
This Dressing/Dip is definitely one of my family's favorites! I make sure to keep a fresh batch made at all times...my husband loves it as a dip for veggies and tortilla chips 🙂 And, my children love it as a salad dressing, baked potato topper and a dip for French Fries and Chicken Bites! It's so easy to make and can be easily personalized to suit your family's tastes by adding different herbs and spices 😉 Of course, a BIG "Thank You" to Ree Drummond (aka: "The Pioneer Woman") for sharing the original version of this recipe!!! It's a 5-Star recipe in our house!

Servings 2 Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise I use Hellmann's
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream I use Daisy Lite, but full-fat is fine, too
  • ¼ Cup Barbecue Sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray's, but you can use whatever bbq sauce you have on hand
  • 3 Tbsp Dried Parsley Flakes
  • ½ tsp Garlic, minced I use the already-minced garlic in a jar (usually found in the produce section)
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup Buttermilk *usually only needed if you're making a Salad Dressing; I make my own by adding 1 Cup Milk to 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice or White Vinegar; gently stir and let sit for 5 minutes
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp Kosher Salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Note: If using Buttermilk (usually only needed for the Salad Dressing version of this recipe; if you're making this recipe as a dip, the Buttermilk is usually not needed) and you're making your own, do so now by pouring 1 Tablespoon of White Vinegar or Lemon Juice into a 1-Cup measuring cup; then add milk (I use Whole Milk, but any fat % Milk is fine) to the Vinegar/Lemon Juice to almost fill the 1-cup measuring cup; gently stir and let sit for 5 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.
  • While the Buttermilk is forming, place all of the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • To dilute/thin the dressing, add some Buttermilk, a little bit at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Pour into a jar/vessel, cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Enjoy!
