Things You'll Need
16 ounces sour cream
1 ounce package ranch dressing or dip mix
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce or hot buffalo wing sauce
Medium bowl with lid
Mixing spoon
Spicy ranch dressing makes a tasty cold dip for appetizers or a zesty warm sauce served over chicken main dishes. There are many variations on this sauce and you may want to experiment with your own flavor combinations. Add some taco seasoning or lime juice for a Mexican flavor, extra hot sauce or cayenne pepper to heat things up, or Chinese five-spice powder or ginger for an Asian version. Serve this flavorful basic version with your favorite dippers or appetizer sides.
