- Chill the Sauce: Transfer the ranch sauce to an airtight container or cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple of hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Stir Before Serving: After chilling, give the sauce a good stir before serving to ensure a smooth consistency.
