Viral Hot Honey Ranch

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup hot honey (Use prepared hot honey, or combine honey with a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.)
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (Adjust to taste for additional heat.)
• 1 tbsp fresh dill (Finely chopped; dried dill may be substituted.)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (Finely chopped.)
• 1 clove garlic (Finely grated or minced.)
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp white vinegar (Use to brighten the sauce and adjust tanginess.)
• kosher salt (To taste.)
• black pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk to a mixing bowl. Whisk until completely smooth and evenly combined.

2. 2

   Add the hot honey and hot sauce. Whisk again until the sweet and spicy ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Stir in the chopped dill, chopped parsley, garlic, onion powder, and white vinegar.

4. 4

   Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly, then taste and adjust the honey, hot sauce, vinegar, or seasoning as needed so the sauce is creamy, sweet, spicy, and tangy.

5. 5

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving so the herbs and seasonings can infuse the ranch. Stir once more before using.
