Taste-tested and teen approved! Needed an extra dip for our Christmas munchie table and I remembered I had this saved. Whipped it up in no time. Teenage DD was the first to try and dubbed the dip "amazing". There you have it. P.S. I added the dill as suggested by other reviewers and only used 2 tsp of the paprika. Thanks for posting!

It's me again!. I added Dillweed to it and that is great too (eagual amount to the salt sugar, pepper etc) This is an amazing recipe! I had all of the ingredients and it tastes way better than any store bought dip. My husband has a problem with the presevatives in the premade dips and mixes, he LOVES this one! I did not use the Paprika because that is one spice he does not like, but, it is still great! Thanks!!

THis recipe makes a great dip, but I didn't really care for it as a dressing. I thought there was too much paprika in it, which turned the mixture a little red-not something I'm used to seeing in Ranch dressing. I found it more appealing after adding some extra garlic, some dill, and a little more sugar, and mixing into sour cream, (like for a dip) and then thinning it out with some vinegar. (I checked the ingredient listing on a bottle of lite Ranch I had in the fridge which gave me some clues as to what was missing). After these adjustments, it was very good, although I'd still cut back on the paprika next time.

This turned out great! I was making spinach dip yesterday and it called for a packet of dry ranch mix. I thought I had some on hand, but found out otherwise. Recipezaar to the rescue! I found this recipe and I had everything I needed. I doubt I will ever buy the packets again. This tastes great and saves lot of money. Thanks for posting.
