Blackened ranch is essentially a spiced-up version of traditional ranch dressing. The key difference lies in the addition of blackening seasoning.
- Traditional Ranch: This is the classic version, made with mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, herbs, and spices like onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Blackened Ranch: This variation incorporates blackening seasoning, which typically includes a blend of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and other spices. This gives the ranch dressing a smoky, spicy kick.
