I’ll try and make a copycat!
It’ doesn’t taste bad but I’m not sure it’s totally “Longhorn-ish.” I feel like the sour cream gives it a bit of a yogurty flavor and Longhorn’s ranch is definitely more mayonnaise-y in salty and souriness. I’ve seen a similar recipe that calls for mayo as opposed to sour cream. Gonna try that next time. But this in general tastes decent.
I had high hopes but sadly I didn’t find it tasting at all like Longhorns Ranch 🙁
I’m sorry to hear that!
