Copycat Popeye’s Blackened Ranch Dressing

 

Love Popeye’s’ bold, zesty Blackened Ranch? This copycat recipe brings that smoky, creamy, and slightly spicy flavor to your kitchen. I’ve tweaked it to fit my taste and pantry, and I’m thrilled to share the results. Perfect for dipping fries, drizzling on salads, or spreading on sandwiches, this dressing is a must-try.

Popeye's’ Blackened Ranch has a unique kick that transforms any dish. The original recipe packs some heat, but I cut the cayenne pepper in half to make it less spicy for me. I also swapped dried chives for instant minced onions since I didn’t have dried chives and wanted to avoid fresh herbs, which can make dressings spoil faster. The result? A creamy, tangy, and smoky ranch that’s just as crave-worthy as the original.Copycat Popeye’s Blackened Ranch Dressing
