Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup sour cream (room temperature) – This creamy base offers a rich consistency and smooth texture that balances the sauce.
  • ⅓ cup honey – The star of the dish, honey provides natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor while complementing the heat.
  • 2 tbsp garlic chili oil – Infusing the sauce with a kick of heat and aromatic garlic, this ingredient elevates the flavor profile.
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix – A blend of herbs and spices, ranch seasoning adds tartness and depth that are signature to this sauce.
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill – Bringing a fresh, herbaceous note, dill lends a refreshing quality that rounds out the flavors.
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes – For those who enjoy a bit more heat, red pepper flakes offer a punch that accentuates the sauce’s spicy character.

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup of room temperature sour cream with ⅓ cup of honey. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until the sour cream and honey are well blended.
  2. Add the Heat: Incorporate 2 tablespoons of garlic chili oil into the mixture. This will add a rich garlic flavor and a subtle heat. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Season it Up: Add 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning mix to the bowl. This mix is essential for achieving that quintessential ranch flavor, so be sure to mix well.
  4. Fresh Herbs: Mix in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill. This ingredient will contribute freshness and a pop of color to your Hot Honey Ranch.
  5. Spice it Up: Finally, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for an additional spicy kick. Adjust to your taste preference, adding more if you prefer a hotter sauce.
