    About Blackened Ranch

    This copycat recipe for Popeye’s Blackened Ranch is a perfect replica of the original, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It is a variation of the traditional buttermilk ranch recipe.

    This recipe is easy to follow and make, and it will be sure to please everyone who tries it.

    The recipe is Keto, Low Carb, and Gluten-free and can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Ingredients

    Mayonnaise – Use full-fat mayonnaise for the best result. Refrain from using miracle whip or light mayo.

    Sour Cream – I use my homemade Sour Cream to make this ranch sauce recipe but you can definitely use a store-bought tub.

    Buttermilk – It is used to thin down the dressing and still maintain the creaminess.

    Herbs & Spices – You will need dried parsley, dried dill weed, black pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.

    How To Make Blackened Ranch

    Combine 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, and ¼ cup buttermilk in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well using a whisk.

    Mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk added to a bowl.
    Mixed until smooth.

    Add

    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
    • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt

    and mix well with a whisk.

    Remaining ingredients added to the bowl.

    Check for salt and add more if needed.

    Let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

    Ready blackened ranch.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a good substitute for buttermilk?

    If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can easily substitute it with milk and vinegar. Just add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will give you the same consistency and flavor as buttermilk.

    How to make blackened ranch using ranch seasoning?

    Combine 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, and ¼ cup buttermilk in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well using a whisk.
    Add 2 tablespoon ranch seasoning, 2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder, and mix well with a whisk.
    Check for salt and add more if needed.
    Let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

    How to make it using readymade blackened seasoning?

    Combine 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, and ¼ cup buttermilk in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well using a whisk.
    Add 3 tablespoon blackened seasoning and mix well with a whisk.
    Let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Be sure to use the best quality herbs and spices for the best flavor.

    If you want a slightly thinner dressing, add a little bit of milk or cream to the mixture.

    If you want a thicker ranch, add extra mayonnaise to this recipe.

    Be sure to let the dip sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will bring out the flavors.

    For a spicier dressing, add more cayenne pepper, chili sauce, or hot sauce to the mixture and for a milder dressing, omit the cayenne pepper altogether.

    Serving Suggestions

    Popeye’s copycat blackened ranch dressing is great on salads as a salad dressing or over-grilled fish and meat.

    It is also delicious as a dipping sauce for grilled vegetables, chips, fried chicken, chicken wings, fried seafood, and chicken tenders.

    This dressing is also great on burgers, sandwiches, or wraps.

    Storage Suggestions

    Store this creamy ranch dressing in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week.

    This creamy sauce can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight and use it.
