Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
- 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the room temperature sour cream, honey, garlic chili oil, ranch seasoning mix, chopped fresh dill, and red pepper flakes together to form the base of your sauce.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients well until they are fully combined and the sauce has a smooth, uniform consistency, ensuring the flavors meld perfectly.
- Store Properly: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. This helps the flavors to develop and keeps the sauce fresh.
- Serve: Enjoy the Hot Honey Ranch cold straight from the fridge or warmed slightly to enhance the aroma and flavor. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes or as a dip.

Notes
- The sauce can be served cold or warmed depending on your preference and the dish it accompanies.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your liking.
- Fresh dill adds brightness; if unavailable, dried dill can be substituted but use sparingly.
- Use garlic chili oil to add both garlic flavor and heat; alternative chili oils can work but will vary the flavor profile.
