Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise, creating a smooth base for the dip.
- Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning mix over the cream mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
- Drain and rinse the black beans under cold water to remove excess sodium, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Add the drained black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes to the seasoned cream mixture, folding gently to integrate all ingredients without crushing the beans.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese into the mixture, stirring to create an even cheese distribution throughout the dip.
- Garnish the top of the dip with freshly chopped green onions for added color and a mild onion flavor.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and chill.
- Before serving, give the dip a gentle stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Tips
- Chill Factor: Refrigerating the dip for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. The longer it sits, the more delicious it becomes!
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Opt for crisp green onions and ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor profile.
- Customize Your Dip: Feel free to add some heat with diced jalapeños or swap out the cheese for a different variety like pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Serving Suggestions: While tortilla chips are classic, try serving with bell pepper strips, cucumber rounds, or even as a spread on wraps for versatility.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it perfect for party planning and meal prep.
