Fall is definitely the party season around here from holidays and birthdays to football watching parties. Our favorite (and easiest) party appetizer is an easy ranch dip recipe paired with a fun themed veggie tray.

Creamy homemade ranch dip is the best easy 3-ingredient recipe for a party. Pair it with a themed veggie tray, like a football made from vegetables to add a bit of fun. Click through to learn how to make this DIY recipe that utilizes hidden valley seasoning with mayo and buttermilk or simplify it to a 2-ingredient recipe with just sour cream.

Football Veggie Tray

I’m a fan of creatively arranging fruits and veggies into fun party themed trays. From a turkey or Christmas tree veggie tray to a football fruit tray, it’s easy to get a little creative with cut up fruits and veggies.

For the football veggie tray it helps if you have an oval dish to help keep the shape.

Using an oval dish for the red and orange veggies helps keep them in the shape of a football. Top the football shape with strips of jicama for the football laces. Then surround the football with your favorite green veggies.

Easy Ranch Dip Recipe

What do you pair with your football veggie tray? A creamy (and easy) ranch dip of course. I partnered with Shamrock Farms to share my favorite ranch dip recipe. My dad always makes it and it’s delicious. The best part is that is so easy everyone can make it.

How to Make 3 Ingredient Ranch Dip

To make fresh ranch dip, combine 1 cup of Shamrock Farms Buttermilk and 1 cup of mayonnaise with a packet of ranch seasoning. Mix well and then cover. Let the dip chill for at least an hour for best results.

Looking for an even easier ranch dip option? I’m also a fan of combining the ranch seasoning with a 16 oz container of Shamrock Farms Sour Cream.

Shamrock Farms Rockin’ Protein is now the official protein beverage of the Arizona Wildcats and Shamrock Farms is the UA’s official milk partner.  To celebrate this, Shamrock Farms is donating up to 50,000 servings of milk to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

When I spent the day at my local food bank, I learned the availability of fresh produce, meat and dairy is not guaranteed.  The additional servings of milk will be very appreciated by the families in need.
