Instructions
Cowboy Ranch Seasoning Blend
- In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until well blended. For a more finely-ground seasoning, pulse the mixture in a food processor. This will make about ¾ cup of seasoning mix.
- Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will last for up to 3 months.
Cowboy Ranch Dip
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cowboy ranch seasoning, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and the seasoning is fully incorporated. This will yield about 1 ¾ cups of dip.
- Store dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to a week.
Cowboy Ranch Dressing
- Adjust the thickness of the mixture into a dressing by adding 1-2 tablespoons of whole milk, or enough to reach your desired consistency. This yields approximately 1 ¾-2 cups of dressing.
- Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to a week.
