Ingredients

This 3 ingredient recipe couldn't be easier. You'll love how simple the ingredients are.

• Mayonnaise- To get the right consistency, thickness, and texture you need to make sure you get quality heavy-duty brand name mayonnaise like Hellman's or Dukes. We've noticed that store brands tend be on the thinner side and you won't get that same thick sauce you are looking for like they have in the restaurant.
• Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing- It surprised us to see this simple yet delicious ingredient on the list of the original viral video on how to make this wing dip. It adds the perfect flavor that we all love and it makes it easy in compared to gathering various spices and seasonings.
• Buttermilk- This recipe uses buttermilk. It gives it that rich flavor that you love that is missing in regular ranch dressing. While this copycat recipe is with buttermilk, look to our variations and substitutions to see how to make it without buttermilk.

How To Make Copycat Wingstop Ranch

Follow these simple step-by-step instructions. Lucky for you, it's quick and easy!

1. Add buttermilk, maronnaise, and the ranch packet seasoning to a medium sized mixing bowl.

2. With a mixing spoon or rubber scraper, mix all three ingredients until combined.

Hint: Make sure to not leave any chunks of mayonnaise. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help set the sauce.

Substitutions and Variations

• Heavy Cream - Instead of using buttermilk, use heavy whipping cream instead. The taste may be altered as heavy cream has a milder taste. They have a similar consistency that will keep your dip delicious.
• Milk - Use standard milk. This is going to be a similar taste to the recipe found on the back of the dressing packet and may not resemble that restaurant taste you are looking for. It also may be runny. Try halving the milk if you use this variation.
• Almond milk and other milk alternatives-If you want to try a dairy free option you can try using almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Use half the liquid as the original recipe. This substitution will change the taste and texture.
• Sour Cream - Use sour cream instead of mayonnaise. This will keep the consistency of the traditional recipe.
• Plain Greek Yogurt- Substitute the buttermilk for pain greek yogurt.

Learn From Us

I used to buy store-brand mayonnaise and didn't recognize the difference a quality brand made. For this recipe, it made a big difference when trying to get that authentic Wingstop Ranch texture. As soon as I used Best Foods mayonnaise, I immediately saw the difference in texture and taste.

Storing Wingstop Ranch

Store mixed dressing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks if you used good/just opened buttermilk.
