    Buffalo Ranch Dressing

    This buffalo ranch dressing is rich and creamy with a spicy kick. It’s quick and easy to make, and makes a wonderful dip, topping or salad dressing.

    If you love a bit of spiciness in your life, then you’re going to love this buffalo ranch dressing.

    It’s rich and creamy with just enough added heat (in the form of hot sauce) to bring a little color to your cheeks! The spiciness is balanced out by the creamy mayonnaise so you will love it even if you prefer things on the milder side.

    It’s a very simple recipe and so easy to make, you can have it ready to serve in 5 minutes flat.

    The recipe is adapted from our homemade ranch dressing (you’ll love that too) and with an added spicy kick it makes the perfect dressing or dip.

    And if you love creamy dips then try our garlic dip, tartar sauce, horseradish aioli and haydari.

    What You’ll Need To Make This Dressing:

    Ingredient Notes

    • Mayonnaise – should be a thick and creamy mayonnaise.
    • Hot sauce – you can use any brand of hot sauce. We made this dressing mildly spicy but you are free to dial up the spice factor by increasing the amount of hot sauce you add to the recipe.
    • Distilled white vinegar – is just the perfect flavor blend for this dressing and I don’t recommend using any other kind of vinegar.
    • Homemade buttermilk – this recipe uses ¼ cup of homemade buttermilk. If you happen to have real buttermilk on hand you can go ahead and use that. But to make your own homemade buttermilk you just need to mix a little lemon juice with your room temperature milk.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve in a bowl topped with fresh chopped parsley and with sides of fresh veggies: celery, baby carrots and sliced cucumbers, and veggie nuggets for dipping.

    It’s also great as a dip for chips or fries. It makes a wonderful topping for baked potatoes and salads too.

    Storing Tips

    This buffalo ranch dressing keeps very well in the fridge for up to 1 week. It’s a great dressing to make ahead of time as the flavors can even seem to get better after it has chilled for a while in the fridge.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Mayonnaise
    • ¼ cup Homemade Buttermilk or Real Buttermilk
    • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
    • ¼ teaspoon Salt
    • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Distilled White Vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce or To Taste
    US Customary – Metric

    Instructions

    • Add mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, distilled white vinegar and hot sauce to a bowl.
    • Whisk together until well mixed.
    • Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley and with fresh veggies and veggie nuggets (or chips or fries) for dipping.

    Notes

    1. Buttermilk. You can use proper buttermilk if you have it on hand or you can make homemade buttermilk. It’s equally good either way. To make homemade buttermilk add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a measuring jug and then add room temperature milk up to the ¼ cup (60ml) line. Let it curdle into buttermilk.
    2. Distilled white vinegar – is just the perfect flavor blend for this dressing and I don’t recommend using any other kind of vinegar.
    3. Hot sauce – you can use any brand of hot sauce. We made this dressing mildly spicy but you are free to dial up the spice factor by increasing the amount of hot sauce you add to the recipe.  
    4. Storing. This dressing keeps very well in the fridge for up to 1 week. It’s a great dressing to make ahead of time as the flavors can even seem to get better after it has chilled for a while in the fridge.
