Buffalo Ranch Salad Dressing is a spicy ranch dressing made with mayonnaise, buttermilk, green onion, garlic, seasoning and buffalo sauce. Not only is it a great tasting salad dressing, but it also makes a really dip to serve with chicken wings, French fries and onion rings.

This spicy ranch salad dressing comes together in about 5 minutes start-to-finish. But you’ll want to refrigerate it for up to an hour (longer even better) to allow the flavors to blend together.

Buffalo Ranch Dressing Recipe

  • Mayonnaise. We use real mayonnaise like Best Foods (Hellman’s).
  • Seasoning.  We add fresh garlic and green onion together with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season this dressing with. 
  • Hot Sauce. We stir in a Franks Hot sauce to the mix which gives this dressing an amazing flavor and a wee bit of a kick to it. If you want a spicier dressing, then add more hot sauce 1 teaspoon at a time to your liking.
  • Buttermilk. This adds flavor and thins the dressing out.  You can use milk or water if you like.

Variations

  • Substitute the fresh green onion with 1/2 teaspoon dried chives.
  • Omit the fresh garlic if you don’t like a garlicky dressing.
  • Use milk or even water (about 1/4 – 1/2 cup) instead of buttermilk to thin dressing.
  • Add more hot sauce if you want a spicier dressing.

How To Make Buffalo Ranch Dressing

  1. Blend ingredients. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If you aren’t using fresh green onion and garlic, you can whisk everything together in a bowl using a wire whisk or fork. When whisking the ingredients in a bowl, I like to whisk the seasoning in the mayonnaise first, then slowly add in the buttermilk.
  2. Chill. Refrigerate the dressing up to an hour before serving so the flavors have a chance to blend together.
