- 0.5 cup sour cream Use for creaminess
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise Adds richness

- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix For flavor base
- 2 whole tomatillos, husked and chopped Adds freshness
- 1-2 whole jalapeños, chopped (seeds removed for less heat) Adjust heat level to taste
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro For herbaceous flavor
- 1 clove garlic (optional) Roasting can enhance flavor
- 0.5 whole lime, juice For acidity
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Add sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice into a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed; add buttermilk for a thinner consistency if desired.

Notes
If the dip is too thick after chilling, blend in more buttermilk, a spoonful at a time. Homemade ranch flavors develop further after a day in the fridge.
