Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 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 chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, honey, garlic chili oil, ranch seasoning mix, chopped fresh dill, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and all components are evenly incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  3. Store Properly: Transfer the Hot Honey Ranch into an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  4. Serve: Serve the sauce cold straight from the fridge, or warm it slightly if you prefer a more mellow honey flavor. It pairs excellently with snacks, vegetables, or as a topping for chicken wings and sandwiches.

Notes

  • Make sure the sour cream is at room temperature to help the ingredients blend smoothly.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes depending on your desired spice level.
  • Use fresh dill for the best aroma and flavor; dried dill can be substituted if needed at a reduced amount (1 tablespoon).
  • This dip can be served immediately but tastes better after chilling for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the dip fresh and prevent flavor contamination.
