Description

Hot Honey Ranch is a flavor-packed sauce that combines creamy sour cream, sweet honey, spicy garlic chili oil, tangy ranch seasoning, fresh dill, and a kick of red pepper flakes. Perfect for adding an extra burst of flavor to just about any dish, this sauce works wonders as a dip, dressing, or even a drizzle for burgers and fries.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional Substitutions:

  • If you’re lactose intolerant, you can replace sour cream with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup sour cream, ⅓ cup honey, 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Step 2: Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container. You can refrigerate it for up to a week. Serve it cold or warm it slightly, depending on your preference.

Cooking Tip: To make the sauce even more flavorful, allow it to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
