This easy copycat Wingstop Ranch recipe needs just 4 simple ingredients and tastes exactly like the original, creamy, tangy, and perfect for dipping right at home.
Mix the mayonnaise and Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning in a medium bowl until the seasoning is well incorporated.
Slowly whisk in the buttermilk until the dressing reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Add black pepper and stir well to incorporate. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Chill the Wingstop ranch dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Go with Full-Fat Mayo: I always use full-fat mayo; it gives the ranch that rich, creamy base that’s hard to beat.Use Fresh Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds that perfect tang. If I don’t have any, I just mix milk with a bit of vinegar and let it sit, super easy, and it works.Control the Texture: I like my ranch thick for dipping, so I use less buttermilk. But if I’m using it as a dressing, I add a bit more to thin it out.Let It Chill: I always let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The flavors come together so much better after a little time.Taste and Adjust: Once it’s chilled, I give it a quick taste. Sometimes I add a pinch of garlic powder or salt, but usually, it’s spot on.
