Variations & Tips

For a bit of spice, add some chopped jalapeños to the ranch mixture. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Colby, for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a homemade touch, make your own ranch dressing using fresh herbs and buttermilk. For a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
