Print Recipe

A creamy, smoky pumpkin ranch dip made with just three ingredients and served with a colorful veggie tray. Perfect for Halloween parties, this easy appetizer is ready in five minutes and always disappears first.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (e.g., Hidden Valley)
  • 1 large orange bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup cucumber slices
  • 1/2 cup black olives
  • Optional: celery sticks, cauliflower, snap peas, or radishes

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth and uniform in color.
  2. Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning mix over the mixture. Stir thoroughly, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Optional but recommended: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld and dip to thicken.
  4. Wash all vegetables thoroughly and pat dry. Slice orange bell pepper into thin strips, cucumber into 1/4-inch rounds, and broccoli into bite-sized florets. Leave baby carrots whole.
  5. Arrange vegetables on a serving platter in a circular pattern, grouping by color for visual appeal. Place the dip in a small bowl in the center.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Dip can be left at room temperature for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Use full-fat sour cream for best texture. Greek yogurt works as a substitute but makes dip tangier. Avoid pumpkin pie filling. Make dip a day ahead for best flavor. Store dip separately from vegetables. Do not freeze.
