Ranch Seasoning. You could make the ranch seasoning at home if you prefer. However, the packets are super convenient and make this recipe extra quick. The best kind for this recipe is Hidden Valley Ranch!
Mayonnaise. Any mayonnaise will work for this recipe, but opting for a full favor mayo is ideal. You could substitute vegan mayonnaise if you want to cut out eggs, too!
Buttermilk. The buttermilk gives this ranch the tanginess and amps up the creaminess. There are alternatives if you have another preference, including dairy-free options like soy milk. Remember, thinner kinds of milk will produce a runnier ranch, so you may want to adjust the measurements.
